History & Origin

Brittane is one more variant spelling from the crest of Brittany's popularity in the late nineteen-eighties. Brittany takes its name from the French region Bretagne, land of the Britons, and became a favorite American girls' name for a generation.

The clipped -ane form never gained ground, appearing for only a few dozen girls a year around nineteen-eighty-nine before disappearing within a decade. It reflects the era's appetite for restyling one popular name in many ways.

Did you know? The name behind it, Brittany, is a whole region of France - the peninsula of Bretagne, named for the Britons who settled it and later lent it to a wave of American girls.
