The meaning of the masculine name Brian is not known for sure, however, it could be related to the old Celtic element bre that means “hill” or even “noble or high”. The name was given to the Irish king Brian Boru, who was able to thwart many attempts by the Vikings to conquer Ireland back in the 11th century. However, the name was common throughout Ireland before his time, and after he was slain was even more popular. The name was taken to England during the Middle Ages, by Breton settlers. After that the name became rare, but in the 20th century was revived again.
