Brianne is a female given name of Irish origin, derived from the ancient Irish name 'Briana', which means 'strong' or 'noble'. It is composed of the elements 'bri', meaning strong, and '-ana', meaning noble. The name Brianne gained popularity in the United States during the 1970s and 1980s, likely due to its similarity to more traditional Irish names like Brianna.
Brianne was quite popular during the late '70s and early '80s with a peak in 1979 when it had 9 births. However, its popularity declined afterwards, with fewer than 6 births each year until it started to pick up again from 1987 onwards, reaching another peak of 5 births in both 1987 and 1989. In total, there were 31 babies named Brianne born during these years.
