| Meaning | Hill, strong, noble, and high |
The name Brian comes from a Jewish backround. It is of Celtic origin and its meaning may be "hill" or "strong, noble, and high".There is no strong evidence regarding any potential origin, only conjecture, although the Gaelic word "brígh"/"brìgh" ("context", "elixir", "essence", "interpretation", "meaning", "pith", "significance") offer a possible root. Brian means a matter strength, dignity, and honor. Another meaning for this name is "majestic and powerful in Irish rule." It could also come from the ancient British word for "king" (*brigantinos, Brythonic *brijanin, Welsh brenin).
A common definition is " Noble, strong, virtuous".
