== Name == Linguist Max Vasmer says the placename Briaza stems from the Slavic Bulgarian word brěza meaning 'birch' with a rendering of the Slavic ě and as ia in Greek. Linguist Yordan Zaimov wrote apart from the possibility of etymologically deriving the toponym from brěza, it is possible it originates from the etymologically related form brěza stemming from berza, in Slavic the word's adjectives are brjaz (masculine) and brjaza (feminine) 'white'.
