Brie is a girl’s name of Irish and Hebrew origins. The name is recognized as a nickname for the feminine name “Brianna,” meaning “high,” “noble,” and “strong,” in Irish. Others also use Brie as a nickname for Gabriella, meaning “God is my strong man” in Hebrew. Despite these nickname associations, Brie works just as beautifully on its own. Parents are sure to delight in Brie’s connection to the French region, too, famous for its soft and creamy white cheese production. Chateaus filled with cheeseboards, red wines, and jams are all ahead for baby Brie, having used the tenacity and grit to escape the marshes.
