feminine · English (Modern) origin
Briella is a modern English name formed as a short form or feminine elaboration of Gabriella, itself the feminine of Gabriel, which derives from the Hebrew name Gavri'el, meaning God is my strong man or God is my strength. The name began appearing independently in the United States in the early twenty-first century as parents sought shorter, melodic alternatives to the fuller form. It shares its root with Gabrielle, Bria, and Brielle, all of which draw on the same Hebrew origin.
