England and Wales Census information recorded 2 in 1851, 4 in 1861, 5 in 1871 and 8 in 1881, none being from Wales. When Liberal politician, John Roberts of Bryn Adda, Bangor, became MP for Caernarvonshire in 1885, he adopted Bryn as a first name after the name of his home, to avoid confusion with another John who was already a MP. In the 1891 census, the first Welsh Bryn is recorded, and by the 1901 census there were 28. Notable people with the name include:Bryn Allen (1921–2005), Welsh international footballer
Bryn Apprill, American voice actress affiliated with Funimation
Bryn Atkinson, Australian mountain bike racing cyclist
