Meaning: Brietta is a modern American coinage that dresses the short name Brie in an ornate -etta ending, while also echoing Brigitta, the Latin form of Bridget.

History & Origin
Brietta is a modern American coinage, built by adding the decorative -etta ending to the short name Brie. It also chimes with Brigitta, the Latin form of Bridget, from the Irish Brighid, tied to a sense of 'exalted' or 'strength.' Whether a family had Bridget in mind or simply liked the sound is uncertain, so its meaning is best read as an echo rather than a fixed root.
Brietta was never common, given to only about twenty girls a year at its peak around 2006, and it stayed rare throughout. A girl named Brietta then is a teenager today.
