Bryna is an Irish feminine name used mostly in North America. It is an uncommon name, meaning "Strong One".[1] Bryna is the feminine version of Bryan.[2] Some believe that the name Bryna is a feminine form of the Celtic Bren which is from the root bri (strength, force). Alternatively, it may be derived from the Gaelic bran (raven).[3]

Bryna is also used as a Jewish name, as an anglicised form of Yiddish ברײַנע (Brayne).
