Brea
About Brea
Brea is another spin on the increasingly-popular Bria, another entry in the stylish Mia-Leah-Gia sisterhood. While Bria is on the charts with an arrow toward the top, Brea is used more quietly, maybe because the spelling makes the pronunciation less clear. Is it bree-a or bray (answer: bree-a).
Pronounced BRAY-uh.
As of October 2026, Brea ranked #3073 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #771 in 1993.
