Bryan


I prefer this spelling over the 'normal' Brian. I read somewhere that this is actually the original spelling of the name.


Brian is an anglicization of the Irish name Bríon, which are pronounced like /BREE un/. It means, probably, "high; noble." The most common anglicization is Brian, though later forms, such as Bryan and Bryon are also found.
