What is the meaning of the name Brennah ?

Brennah is Irish in Origin.

Brennah is a modern English feminine given name, a respelling of Brenna. Brenna itself is usually traced to the Irish surname Brennan (Ó Braonáin), whose personal name Braonán derives from Old Irish braon, “drop, moisture,” yielding the sense “little drop” or poetically “teardrop.” Because of its Celtic sound, some also associate it with Irish/Welsh bran, “raven,” giving rise to the popular gloss “little raven.” A secondary influence may be Brenda (from Old Norse Brandr, “sword; torch”), which helped the name feel familiar.

Used as a given name in the Anglophone world since the mid-20th century, Brenna rose in the United States in the 1980s–90s; the -h form Brennah is a contemporary elaboration that has appeared more recently. Variants and related forms include Brenna, Brennan (unisex), Brennagh/Brenagh, and Brynna by analogy. Meanings offered range from “teardrop” to “raven(-haired),” with the Braonán derivation considered the more likely origin.
