Breslin

What does Breslin mean?

Breslin is a surname-turned-given name of Irish origin. It comes from the Gaelic Ó Breasláin, meaning “descendant of Breaslán,” with Breaslán being a diminutive of breas, meaning “strife” or “war.” Originally a masculine surname, it has transitioned into occasional use as a given name. Actress Abigail Breslin has contributed to its modern familiarity, particularly in English-speaking countries, adding a youthful association to this otherwise old Irish name.
