About Bryar
Bryar is a respelling of Briar, a trendy botanical name that is used nearly equally for girls and boys. About 50 baby girls were named Bryar last year, compared with about 500 named Briar.
Bryar for boys#1873 US
The trendy gender-neutral Briar leans slightly more masculine with the Bryar spelling, given to about 60 baby boys last year in the US vs. 50 girls. By contrast, Briar was used for about 500 baby girls compared with 400 baby boys.
Why this turnaround from the usual rule, which holds that substituting a Y in the middle of a name tends to make it more feminine? Perhaps Bryar feels closer to Bryan this way, and also less flowery.
Pronounced BRY-ar.
As of October 2026, Bryar ranked #2655 in US births in 2025 SSA.
