Brielle

Brielle is a modern English feminine name that originated as a short form of Gabrielle, the French feminine form of Gabriel. Gabriel derives from the Hebrew name Gavriel, composed of the elements gever, meaning man or hero, and el, meaning God, giving the overall sense of God is my strength. Brielle emerged as an independent given name in the late twentieth century, likely influenced by the trend of coining melodic short forms as standalone names. Related forms include Gabrielle, Gabriella, and Gabby.
