Briana by the numbers
In 2025, 11 babies in England and Wales were named Briana. In the US, 676 were, though that figure is from 2017, the most recent full year we hold.
For the size of the two countries, it is given far more often in the US than in England and Wales.
Its American peak was 5,000 babies in 1994, so it is a 1990s name that has since fallen a long way.
At its height, in 1995, about 1 in 420 American girls born that year was called Briana.
