Brion

Brion is a variant spelling of the Celtic name Brian, derived from an Old Celtic root meaning high, noble, or strong. The name was borne most famously by Brian Boru, the eleventh-century High King of Ireland who defeated Viking forces at the Battle of Clontarf in 1014, cementing the name's enduring prestige in Irish culture. Brion retains the same etymological heritage as Brian, Bryan, and the Breton form Brieg, differing only in its orthography.
