What is the meaning of the name Briella ?

The baby name Briella is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced bree-EL-uh /briːˈɛlə/.

Briella is Italian in Origin.

Briella is a modern feminine given name, most often considered a clipped form of Gabriella or an elaboration built on Brie plus the -ella suffix. Through Gabriella, it traces to Hebrew Gavri'el, meaning "God is my strength," via Italian and Spanish feminine forms of Gabriel. The sleek -ella ending and bright initial Br- place it among contemporary English-language creations, yet it carries the theophoric meaning inherited from its source.

As an independent name, Briella rose to visibility in the United States in the early 2010s, paralleling the success of Ella, Isabella, and Brielle. It remains most common in English-speaking countries, with occasional use as a short form of Gabriela in Spanish contexts. Related names and variants include Brielle, Gabriella/Gabriela, Abriella/Aubriella, and Bryella; nicknames Brie, Bri, and Ella are common.
