History & Origin

Brittanee is a respelling of Brittany, from the northwestern French region Bretagne, 'land of the Britons.' It belongs to the late-1980s wave of Brittany spellings and reached its high near 1989.

Brittanee was always a rarer variant beside Brittany and Brittney and faded after the 1990s as the whole family cooled. It carries the same place-name meaning; Brittany and Brittney are the versions parents know.

Did you know? Brittanee caps Brittany with the era's favorite -ee flourish — the same finish that gave the late 1980s Brittani, Britnee, and Brittney as parents personalized a chart-topping name.
