History & Origin
Brittainy is a dressed-up respelling of Brittany, which comes from the French region Bretagne — settled in the early Middle Ages by Britons crossing from Great Britain, giving the sense 'land of the Britons'. When Brittany became a top girls' name in the 1980s, spellings proliferated, and Brittainy is among the more ornate.
Brittainy peaked around 1989 alongside Brittany's height and stayed one of the rarer, more decorated forms. A girl named Brittainy then is now in her thirties. Brittany is the standard spelling; Brittainy reads as a period elaboration and has not revived on its own.
