History & Origin

Brittani takes the region name Brittany ('land of the Britons') and restyles its ending. It surged with the whole Brittany wave, peaking in 1990 at around twelve hundred a year for this spelling alone, then fell as the trend cooled.

A girl named Brittani at that 1990 peak is now in her mid-thirties. The forest of spellings is the story here: owners of any Brittany variant learn to specify the exact letters. It has not revived, and it firmly marks its bearer as an early-90s baby.

Did you know? Brittani is one spelling in a huge Brittany family — Brittney, Britney, Brittni and more — that together made the place name one of the defining girls' names of its moment, cresting in 1990.
