Etymology & Historical Origin of the Baby Name Briella

Briella is a modern American name invention coined from Gabriella, the Latinized female form of Gabriel. Since Gabriella essentially means “woman of God” (in its original Hebrew form), then the pet form or truncated Briella could be said to mean “little woman of God”. Both Brielle and Briella were coined from Gabrielle and Gabriella, respectively. However, Briella could also be an elaborate form of Bree. Briella is more common as a nickname for baby Gabriellas out there, but it is occasionally used as an independently given name in its own right. Although it shows up from time to time in other English speaking countries, for the most part Briella is restricted to the good ole U.S. of A.

We just wonder how, exactly, you will one day tell your daughter that she’s named after a, um, reality TV star with, um, no discernable achievements. No Susan B. Anthony or Rosa Parks is she. We have nothing against Briella Calafiore, let that be clear. In fact, Briella is a pretty name; there’s no question about that. It just works better as a short form of Gabriella – a name with a lot more depth and interest.
