History & Origin
Bryanah is a modern American spelling of Briana, the feminine of the Celtic Brian, 'high, noble.' It appears in United States records from around 1996 and reached its small high near 2005, during the long Brianna wave. Given to only a couple dozen girls a year, this spelling stayed rare.
A girl named Bryanah near that mid-decade high is a young adult today, one of the vast Brianna generation. It is a variant rather than a revival; parents drawn to the sound generally choose the standard Brianna or Briana.
