(sometimes spelled ‘bryan’)

(“brian” is a male given name of ‘irish’ / ‘breton’ origin, as well as a surname of ‘occitan’ origin)

.

(it is common in the “english-speaking world”)

(it is possible that the name is derived from an ‘Old Celtic’ word meaning “high” or “noble”)

(for example, the element bre means “hill”; which could be transferred to mean “eminence” or “exalted one”)

(the name is quite popular in ‘ireland’, on account of ‘Brian Boru’, a 10th-century king of ‘ireland’)

(the name was also quite popular in ‘East Anglia’ during the ‘Middle Ages’)

(this is because the name was introduced to ‘England’ by ‘Bretons’ following the ‘norman conquest’)

(‘bretons also settled in ‘ireland’ along with the ‘normans; in the 12th century, and ‘their’ name was mingled with the ‘irish’ version)

(also, in the north-west of ‘england’, the ‘irish’ name was introduced by scandinavian settlers from ‘ireland’)

(within the ‘gaelic -speaking’ areas of ‘scotland, the name was at first only used by professional families of ‘irish’ origin)

(it was the 4th most popular male name in ‘england’ and ‘wales’ in 1934, but a sharp decline followed over the remainder of the 20th century and by 1994 it had fallen out of the ‘top 100’)

(it retained its popularity in the ‘united states’ for longer; its most popular period there was from 1968–1979 when it consistently ranked between ‘8th’ + ’10th’)

(the surname brian is sometimes an ‘english’ and ‘irish’ variant spelling of the surname ‘bryan’)

(the ‘english’ and ‘french’ surname brian is sometimes derived from the personal ‘celtic’ personal name shown above)

(the surname brian can also sometimes be a ‘french surname; derived from the ‘old occitan’ word brian, meaning “maggot” and used as a nickname)

“aha!”

“you buying?”
