History & Origin
Britanny is a spelling variant of Brittany, from the northwestern French region of Brittany — French Bretagne — whose name means 'land of the Britons', the Celtic people who settled there. Brittany became a top American girls' name in the nineteen-eighties and nineties, spawning many spellings including this one.
This respelling rose and fell with Brittany, peaking around 1990 and fading as the name cooled in the 2000s. It reads as a quintessential eighties-and-nineties name and, like its parent, is not currently reviving.
