Brian Name Meaning

Ā 

It is a name given to the boys and of course, is an Irish one. It is originally coming from the Celtic-Gaelic word ā€œbrightā€ which means ā€œnoble and highā€. It is a popular name mostly because of the last High King of Ireland ā€œBrian Boruā€. Ā He was a popular and lovely king in defending the country. So, people loved him and this leads to the prominence of the name Brian among Irish people in the 20th century. It started to spread all over English-speaking countries. Nowadays, many different names are popular and mostly used in America like Ryan, Liam, and Braden, but Brian is still a popular name as well. It gained no more popularity than it has had in Ireland from ancient times.

I too was named after Brian Keith. Kinda funny. When I was younger I didn't like the name, but It'sure beat my parent's original idea of combining my grandfathe's' names (Jacob and Edward = Jayward). I love my name now. I named my second son Brian, but gave him a different middle name'so he wouldn't be called Junior.

My brother's name is Brian and I've always liked it. It's fairly common, but not over the top. It's such a clean, simple name and I've never met a Brian that I couldn't stand. I probably won't ever use the name, but thought I'd weigh in and mention its simple durability.

My name is Brian and I was born May 17th 1990 in Minnesota. Growing up with this name, I'm neutral about it and to be honest I feel kind of awkward with it. It just, IMHO, seem like a little boy's name and I don't feel it is strong or masculine like David or Richard. For those wondering, Brian means High, Noble, Strong, Virtuous.

I was born Brian in 1970 when it was n't particularly popular. I liked that there was only one other Brian in my entire high school. I wasn't thrilled that it became very popular through the 70's. I kind of liked being one of the few Brians around. Good name, I'm glad my parents chose it.

Has been my name for 38 years and very proud of it. The "Y or I" will always come up; Brain will be an auto correct or Heck, even I'misspelled it, at least its a smart mistake! Either way, you can't go wrong with a name meaning Strong. Everything the meaning says is true about me. Very safe name and will last well past the trendy names. I hope I can do for my son what my parents did for me!
