History & Origin
Brittay is a rare variant of Brittany, the name lifted from the region of Brittany in northwestern France, itself named for the Britons who settled the coast. Brittany was a runaway favorite in the 1980s, and countless spellings followed in its wake; Brittay is one of the scarcer ones. It appears in United States records only briefly in the mid-1980s, and as an uncommon respelling we note it at modest confidence.
It was very rare, given to only a couple dozen girls across a short span, so it barely shows up at all. A girl named Brittay then would be in her late thirties today. It reads as a spelling variant of its moment rather than a name of its own, and the standard Brittany remains the form parents recognize.
