70.0. "Brinna" by 18460::KULP () Wed Jan 07 1987 10:51

    I found a name in Yankee Magazine that I like.  The name is 
    Brinna.  The woman was featured as there great New England
    cook this month, a member of the family that makes King
    Arthur flour.  Does anyone know how it is pronounced?  I like
    the sound of it as Breena, not with a long i sound.   I looked
    it up and found it described as a feminine form of Brian, however,
    they didn't have this spelling of it, only Brynna or Bryna. 
    I've forgotten what it said the meaning of the name (Brian) was.
    I had never heard this name before, only Briana.  Has anyone else?

    I've never seen Brinna before (it's pretty), but Brian means "strong."

    yes, I heard of Bronna. Maybe your brinna is different, still they
    sound something the same.
