History & Origin
Bryttany is a variant of Brittany, the name drawn from the French region of Brittany, whose people descend from Britons who crossed from the island. Brittany dominated 1980s nurseries, and a flood of respellings followed; Bryttany, with its ornamental y, is one of them. It appears in United States records from the mid-1980s and touched its slim high in the mid-1990s. As a decorative respelling we mark it at modest confidence.
It was never common in this spelling, given to only a couple dozen girls a year even at its peak, so a Bryttany from that high would be around thirty today. It reads as an of-its-era spelling rather than a name apart, and the standard Brittany remains the form most parents choose.
