History & Origin

Britanie is a variant spelling of Brittany, taken from Bretagne, the French province settled by Britons. As Brittany soared in the eighties and nineties, dozens of respellings like this one appeared, each carrying the same place-name meaning.

The spelling itself was never common, given to only a few dozen girls a year around its late-1980s peak, and it is best read as a rare form of Brittany.

Did you know? Britanie is one of the many creative spellings that trailed Brittany's enormous late-1980s popularity, and it kept to the long tail.
