I thought it was short for Briana/Breanna (not sure how it's spelt).

The Irish name Bríd/Briege/Breege are all pronounced "Breege" but I've never heard anyone with this named shorten it to "Bree".

Bree is fairly common in Australia as a name in its own right.

yes, ditto on Brianna here too. (silly me for not putting that last time)

I though it was Brianna or Brielle

There's an Irish name Breda that was really popular about 40-50 years ago. Could be short for that.

The Bree I know is Australian. It isn't short for anything.

DD was at school with a girl called Brianna, Bree for short.
