Where the O'Brien name comes from
O'Brien is a surname of Irish origin, the anglicised form of the Gaelic Ó Briain. Ó Briain means "descendant of Brian". In Gaelic the name shifts with the person who carries it: a woman bears it as Ní Bhriain before marriage and Uí Bhriain after it. Uí Bhriain also serves as the plural, naming the family as a whole.
As Irish families settled around the world, the name took on many spellings, among them Brien, Brian, O'Brian, O'Brine, O'Bryan and O'Bryen. All of these variants claim a general common ancestry.
