History & Origin

Bryttani is one of the most inventive spellings of Brittany, a hugely popular name of the 1980s and 1990s taken from the French region of Brittany, 'land of the Britons.' As the name filled classrooms, spellings multiplied - Brittney, Britni, Brittani, and rarer forms like Bryttani. This spelling appears from about 1985, peaks near 1990, and stays rare, given to only a couple dozen girls a year even then.

A Bryttani from around 1990 is now an adult who shared her name's heyday with a wave of Brittanys. As Brittany itself has cooled sharply, its ornate variants like Bryttani have faded too; the name reads firmly as a late-twentieth-century spelling.

Did you know? Brittany, behind Bryttani, is a real place - a windswept region of northwest France settled by Britons - whose name became one of the biggest girls' names of the 1980s and 1990s.
