When did the Bryand family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the Bryand family history? The history of the name Bryand began when it was derived from Brian an Old Norman name, but may also be traced further back to its original form Brjan.There are many spelling variations of Breton surnames, because the Old and Middle English languages lacked definite spelling rules. The official court languages, which were Latin and French, were also influential on the spelling of a surname. Since the spelling of surnames was rarely consistent in medieval times, and scribes and church officials recorded names as they sounded rather than adhering to any specific spelling rules, it was common to find references to one individual with many different spellings of their surname in the ancient chronicles. Moreover, a large number of foreign names were brought into England, which accelerated and accentuated the alterations to the spelling of various surnames. The name has been spelled Bryan, Bryant, Brian, Breine, Brine, Bryand, Briand, Briant, Bryane and many more. First found in Denbigh, a market town in Denbighshire, North Wales, where they had been granted lands by William the Conqueror for their assistance at the Battle of Hastings in 1066.
