History & Origin
Brittne is a pared-down spelling of Brittany, which comes from the French province of Bretagne β Brittany in English β settled by Celtic Britons and thus meaning 'from Britain'. The name surged as a first name in the late twentieth century, and Brittne is one of its many personalized respellings.
