Bryanne, of French origin, is a unique and sophisticated feminine given name. It combines the elements 'Bri' from the Old Norse word 'bríi', meaning 'bright', and 'Anne', derived from the Hebrew 'Hannah', signifying 'grace'. This distinctive moniker gained popularity in the mid-20th century, particularly in English-speaking countries.
The name Bryanne experienced significant popularity from the late 1970s to the early 1990s, with peaks of over 50 births per year between 1986 and 1991. However, its usage declined sharply afterwards, dropping below 20 births per year by the mid-1990s and reaching single digits in recent years. Overall, there were a total of 1030 babies named Bryanne from 1977 to 2014.
