Briana - (BREE-a-na) Feminine version of Brian.Origin is uncertain, but it is probably derived from brig or bre( irish for hill), meaning 'high, noble'; might mean 'strong' and be a variant of Brighid. Anglicized versions and alternate spellings include: Breanne, Brina, Breanna, Breann, Briona, Bryna, Bryana, Riana. According to NameNerds.com, the poet Edmund Spenser coined this name in the 16th Century, for his book The Faerie Queene.

It says it's a Gaelic/Celtic name that means "the strong one", which doesn't sound like a bad meaning at all.

You might see different meaning posted on different websites though.
