4. As a child, Brian probably despised it like any boy, but the call "Brian, come in, it is bedtime!" was likely first delivered in the respective native language by a mother of which origin and era to a boy of that name?
From Quiz The Life of Brian
Answer:
an Irish or Breton mother in the Celtic times
Brian is a name of good Celtic heritage, used by Irish and Bretons. Due to the mingling of people in the following centuries, it spread further on the British isles and much later to the USA and Canada.
As it is with many old names, the real meaning is somehow lost in the mist of time. "Bre" means hill, so the name is most likely something like "exalted one" or alternatively "eminent", "noble" or "high".
Prominent bearers of this name include an Irish King of the 10th century called Brian Boru, Brian Jones of the Rolling Stones and Brian Duncan Schneider, a former professional baseball player who played amongst other teams for the Philadelphia Phillies.
