What could this mean?

I've looked and looked but is there a translation for the word:

Bariviant?
Beriviant?
Biriviant?
Birivient?

"Buree-vee-aunt" or "ant" at the end.

That sort of thing. I know that by searching google I came up with nothing for those in English, but I am hoping someone could please suggest/define. That is definitely how it was said/pronounced. Perhaps something in old English? Perhaps something of a spin off of "Bereave"?
