Brielle is a modern English name, pronounced bree-ELL, that developed as a short form of the French Gabrielle. You'll often see it listed as meaning 'God is my strength,' but that's not quite accurate — Brielle isn't a Hebrew name in its own right, so it only carries that meaning secondhand, inherited through Gabriel and Gabrielle. It's counted among the classic names, with SSA records for it going back to 1972.
