Breianna is of Irish origin, meaning 'little strong one'. It's a variant spelling of Brighid, an ancient Celtic goddess associated with fire, poetry, and fertility. The name Breianna was popularized during the 20th century, gaining traction in English-speaking countries due to its unique sound and connection to Celtic heritage.
"Breianna saw a steady increase in popularity from the late 80s to the mid-90s, peaking at 32 births in 1995. However, after 1996, its usage significantly declined, with fewer than 20 births per year since then."
