Origin & history of Brion1
Irish / Celtic roots
Brion is a spelling variant of Brian, from the Old Celtic brigh meaning noble, exalted, or high — the same root as Bridget. The name was borne by Brian Boru, the great medieval high king of Ireland who defeated Viking invaders in 1014. The Brion spelling, with the i-o vowel pair, emerged as a fashionable American variant in the mid-twentieth century. Brion peaked in 1957 within the broader Brian / Bryan naming family.
