History & Origin

Brittanya is an American elaboration of Brittany that appears in records from around 1980, just as Brittany itself was soaring. Parents kept the place-name root but added a flourish, part of a wave of Brittany variants like Brittony and Brittani.

It was always uncommon in its own right, given to only a couple dozen girls a year at its late-2000s high, while standard Brittany dominated. A girl named Brittanya then is in her teens now.

Did you know? Brittanya is one of many creative respellings that bloomed while Brittany was one of America's most popular girls' names.
