Bryer Origin and Meaning

The name Bryer is a boy's name meaning "a thorny patch".

This spelling of the rising unisex name Briar may strike some parents as more definitively masculine than its source, less Briar-Rose, more last-name-as-a-given-name and cowboyesque. Though it is usually considered a nature name, this spelling has sometimes been used as an Anglicization of the German Breuer or Breyer, an occupational name meaning "brewer".

Bryer debuted in the US Top 1000 in 2024 and was one of the fastest rising names of the year. In contrast, the Briar spelling saw a slight drop for boys as parents turn to this form instead.
