Hill or high place
Brin is a modern English variation of the Welsh name Bryn, which literally translates to hill. It reflects a connection to the landscape and high elevations, often used as a short, punchy nature-inspired choice. While historically masculine in Wales, this spelling is frequently used for girls in the United States.
Fewer than 5 girls were named Brin in 2025.
