Meaning: Place at the bridge

Brystol is a girl’s name of English origin. It’s an alternate spelling of Bristol, a port city in England whose name derives from the Old English word brycgstow, meaning “place at the bridge.” This refers to the original bridge built over the River Avon when the settlement was first established in 1000 A.D. There are also numerous towns called Bristol across the US, as well as three in Canada. If one of these Bristols has a special place in your heart, why not name your little one Brystol in its honor?
