History & Origin

Brior has no recorded etymology. Its nearest neighbour is Briar, from Old English brer, the word for a thorny wild rose or bramble that has become a popular unisex nature name; Bria and Brier are also close in sound. Because a sound-alike is an echo rather than descent, we present Brior honestly as a modern coinage of uncertain route (said 'BRY-or').

It appears only in very small numbers in the U.S. Rare, modern, and nature-adjacent.
