Most often a short form of Gabrielle, the feminine of Gabriel, from Hebrew meaning 'God is my strength'. It coincides with a real Dutch town named Brielle, but as a given name it functions as the clipped form of Gabrielle.
Margot is a French pet form of Marguerite, “pearl.”
Margot is more popular than Brielle today: about 2,575 US babies were given the name Margot in 2025, compared with 2,071 named Brielle.
Brielle means short form of Gabrielle; God is my strength (french origin), while Margot means Pearl (French origin).
In US records, Brielle first appears in 1972 and Margot in 1894, so Margot has the longer recorded history.
