Bryna is an Irish feminine name used mostly in North America. An uncommon name meaning "Strong One", Bryna may be a variant form of Breena, a variant spelling of Brenna, or a variant of Brianna, the female form Brian.[1]
Some[who?] believe that the name Bryna is a feminine form of the Celtic Bren, derived from the root bri "strength," force." Alternatively, it may be derived from the Gaelic bran "raven."[2]
Bryna is also used as a Jewish name, as an anglicised form of Yiddish ברײַנע (Brayne).[3]
