Give baby a Celtic name with mysterious roots, and perhaps they’ll feel connected to their heritage. Briannon is typically given to girls and is most likely a variation of Brianna, possibly combined with Rhiannon. Brianna or Briana comes from the masculine form Brian, which could derive from the Old Celtic term brixs or brigā. These words mean “hill, high” and “might, power,” respectively. The moniker Rhiannon can be traced back to the Celtic Rīgantonā, which signifies “great queen.” Baby Briannon will no doubt be receiving the royal treatment once they are born, with everyone doting on them and caring for them. As baby grows into their crown, they will use their strength of mind to go through life confidently and lead with grace.
