Bryna is Irish in Origin.
Bryna is a feminine given name with two chief etymologies. In Ashkenazic Jewish usage, Bryna (also spelled Breine, Breyna, Brina) is a long-established Yiddish name, likely related to the color word broyn "brown," though some see Slavic influence; it appears in 18th-19th-century records and traveled to North America with immigrants. It gained wider notice mid-20th century (for example, actor Kirk Douglas named his production company after his mother, Bryna).
In the English-speaking world, Bryna is also treated as a modern feminine form of Welsh Bryn "hill," or as a streamlined variant of Briana/Brianna (from Irish Brian "noble, high"). Variants and cognates include Brina, Brynna, Brynn, Briana, Brianna, and Breine/Breyne. Meanings attached depend on the route chosen: "brown-haired" or simply the traditional Yiddish given name; "hill" from Welsh; or "noble, exalted" via the Brian family.
