Meaning and history
Bria is a modern feminine name with more than one possible formation. In English it is often treated as a short form of Brianna, the feminine of Brian, whose older Celtic meaning is uncertain but may relate to height or nobility. In Italian families it may instead shorten names such as Gabriella. The intended origin therefore depends on the bearer. Notable bearers include American basketball player Bria Hartley and American actor Bria Vinaite.
