Bryan (given name) : ウィキペディア英語版 | Bryan (given name)
Bryan is a masculine given name. It is a variant spelling of the masculine given name Brian. ==Origin and meaning== The given name ''Bryan'' is a variant of the given name ''Brian''. This name is thought to be derived from an Old Celtic language word meaning "high", or "noble". The spelling of the given name ''Bryan'' was influenced by the surname ''Bryan''. This surname has several different origins. One origin of the name is from an Anglo-Norman name, ''de Brionne'',〔 (Quoted ) at genealogy.com〕 derived from either of two places called ''Brionne'' in the north of France—one is Brionne, in Eure; the other is Brionne in Creuse. Another origin of the surname is from the name which was brought to England and Ireland by the Breton followers of the Normans, who invaded in England in the 11th century. This name is thought to be derived from the same Old Celtic language element as the modern given name ''Bryan''. When the Anglo-Normans invaded Ireland in the 12th century, this name was confused with the native Irish name ''Brian''. The 'i' in "Brionne" is pronounced like a 'y', and as a result, as the names got conflated, the y emerged.
