Marshland; from the Brie region of France
Originally a French place name referring to the Brie region, known for its famous cheese. The name is derived from the Gaulish word 'briga' meaning hill or high place, though it is most commonly associated with the fertile marshlands of the area. In modern English contexts, it is often used as a short form of Brianna or Gabrielle.
