| Name Meaning: |
Popular name of uncertain etymology. It is generally thought to be of Celtic origin, but its meaning is disputed. Some believe it to be derived from the root bri (force, strength), brigh (valor, strength), or bruaich (a hill, steep, high). The name was most famously borne by King Brian Boru (926?—1014), whose repeat victories over battles with the Danes crushed their attempts at the conquest of Ireland. He was finally killed on Good Friday in 1014 during the decisive Great Battle of Clontarf |
