Briah is Hebrew in Origin.
Briah is a modern feminine given name with several credible roots. In Hebrew, Briyah/Briah (בריאה) means “creation” and names the Kabbalistic World of Creation; it also echoes the biblical name Beriah, though the spelling differs. In English use it is frequently treated as a streamlined form of Bria or Brianna; through those paths it ties to Old Irish Brían, “high, noble,” and to Italian brio, “vigor, liveliness,” the source of the given name Bria.
The name sees light, contemporary use in the United States from the late 20th century onward, chosen for its airy sound and spiritual associations. Variants and near-variants include Bria, Briya, Briyah, Bryah, Brya, Beriah, and Briahna; related forms include Brianna and Brielle. Depending on the lineage preferred, Briah can signify creation, liveliness, or noble strength.
