Brioney is English in Origin.

Brioney is a modern English feminine name taken from the botanical term bryony, the climbing vine of the genus Bryonia. The plant name came into English via Latin Bryonia, ultimately from the Greek verb bryō “to swell, sprout, teem,” giving the name an association with vigorous growth and renewal. Its appeal draws on fresh, green imagery - tendrils, blossoms, and berries.

Used in Britain since the late 19th and early 20th centuries alongside floral choices like Ivy and Hazel, Brioney remains rarer than its standard spellings Bryony and Briony. Other variants include Bryonie and Brionie; brief forms include Bri or Bry. The spelling Briony gained literary visibility through Briony Tallis in Ian McEwan’s Atonement, which helped keep the name current in the UK, while it has seen limited use elsewhere. Overall meaning: “bryony plant,” with connotations of sprouting, flourishing life.
