History & Origin

Brittiany is a variant of Brittany, the place name of the Breton peninsula, named for the Britons who settled there. Brittany surged as a girls' name in the 1980s and peaked in the early 1990s, and its many spellings surged with it. This particular form appears from about 1980, crested around 1990, and faded quickly by the end of the decade.

A Brittiany from the 1990 peak is now in her thirties, a classic early-Millennial name. The elaborate spelling dates it precisely to that moment, and it has not revived — parents today choose Brittany or skip the name entirely. It shares its bright three-beat rhythm with Tiffany and Bethany and pairs with siblings such as Ashley or Brandon.

Did you know? Brittany was so popular in the early nineties that parents ran out of plain ways to spell it — Brittiany, Brittani, Britney and dozens more all bloomed at once to keep it feeling personal.
