The name Brynn is a girl's name of Welsh origin meaning "hill". Brynn is ranked #294 on our popularity charts and is often added to lists like Pixar Baby Names and discussed in our forums with posts like "Baby a Day".
From the experts:
Brynn outshines the original Welsh Bryn in the popularity stakes. This simple, brisk name might be seen as a combination of Bree and Lynn, an androgynous-sounding choice that especially in this spelling is not truly unisex: Brynn, for boys, is not even in the Top 1000. Other variations trendy now include Brynna, Brynnan, and Brynnley spelled many different ways.

Same here! I'm a Brynn too, and I have no idea how people see it as Bryan.

The original spelling, Bryn, is the spelling that is unisex and would have a blue page. Brynn is overwhelmingly used for girls.
Susette Says:
Not a fan of Brynn...rather boring, or the made-up additives of Brinley, Brynleigh. Most "B" names are unpleasant to me.
Daiseymae Says:
Very pretty name.

why isn't there a blue page for this name?

My mother originally wanted to name me Montana Jade. I consider myself incredibly blessed that my father put his foot down on that one! After much debate, my folks agreed on Brynn Colette. Sure, people have mispronounced my name my whole life, but I love it. Even with its growing popularity, Brynn is still considered a unique name, and I receive the best compliments on my name all the time.

I wish DH liked this name! It's so lovely! He is OK with Brinley but I don't like Brinley or the "Brin" spelling! It also honors my grandfather whose name means "hill."

Brynn is a boy's name that is Welsh and means from the hill. It wasn't originally a girl's name. My son is 41 yrs old and was named for a male friend of my husband.
