The name Brian seems to have been unknown in Ireland before Brian Boru,Sean Duffy, Brian Boru and the Battle of Clontarf (2013): "when Brian was born—as we have seen, some time between 927 and 941—the only place in which the name Brian is found is not Ireland but Brittany. (And, incidentally, the occasional occurrence of the name in later mediaeval England derives not from our Brian or from Ireland but from landed connections between England and Brittany arising from the Norman conquest in 1066.) […] the name Brian occurs regularly among the families of the Breton nobility in this age but is hitherto unknown in Ireland […] the only one of Brian's contemporaries to bear it was Brian mac Máelruanaid, the king of Iar-Chonnachta who died in 1004, a younger kinsman of [Brian Boru's mother]." founder of the O'Brien dynasty Ua Briain or Uí Bhriain dynasty, although the possibly related name ga Brión is found earlier, in Brión mac Echach Muigmedóin, the 4th/5th century ancestor of the Uí Briúin dynasty.
