Subject: Origin and meaning of unusual name...
Author: Riverbird   (Authenticated as Riverbird)

My maternal great-grandmother's name was Brinnie (rhymes with "briny" as in "the briny deep") and no relatives have been able to shed any light on to where this name came from. I do know she was of Scottish descent. I'm wondering if anyone here might have heard or seen this name before and if they might know it's origin and/or meaning. I'm thinking it might be derived from another name but which one I'm not sure. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
