Brittny

English name of the French region Bretagne, meaning 'from Briton'

Brittny Origin and Meaning

The name Brittny is a girl's name.

Brittny is a modern variant of Brittany, a name derived from the historical region in northwestern France. This streamlined spelling emerged in the late 20th century as parents sought more distinctive versions of popular names. The original name references the Celtic-speaking people of the Brittany peninsula and gained significant popularity in America during the 1980s and 1990s. While Brittany was once among the top 10 girls' names in the US, Brittny represents a less common alternative. The simplified spelling removes what some consider unnecessary letters while maintaining the original pronunciation. Today, both versions have declined in popularity, giving Brittny a somewhat vintage millennial quality while still feeling approachable and familiar.
