Bethenny Frankel Names Daughter Bryn: What Does it Mean?
Bethenny Frankel, who gave birth about four weeks ahead of schedule on Saturday, named her newborn baby girl Bryn. It’s no surprise she didn’t pick the name Jill — and good thing after “frenemy” Jill Zarin erroneously and ahead-of-schedule announced that Frankel gave birth to a boy on Friday night. No official word from Frankel’s camp on why she picked Bryn, but we have some information on the name, its origin and how popular it is. And, ironically, it was originally a boy’s name and often still is …

Liz commented on May 12 10 at 8:39 pmCongratulations, Bethenny. My father’s name was Bryn and the reports say it’s a Welsh name, which it most certainly is. You couldn’t have picked a better name.

Meredith commented on Jun 10 10 at 9:42 pmAh we share the same love for the name Bryn, although my boy is 6 in a couple of weeks. No doubt there will now be half a zillion girls named Bryn now. The irony is my name is Meredith origionally a boys name. weird!
