This isn't used in Wales, and it isn't Welsh for 'speckled' - that's 'brith'. It's mostly used in Australia, where it's pronounced Brayth, not briyth. Just a guess, but I'm wondering if it's from the same source as Braith (pronounced brayth) in the surname Braithwaite - apparently from Old Norse 'breithr' meaning broad. [noted -ed]
