What Does the Name Bryttany Mean?
Bryttany means "from Brittany" and is an English variant spelling of Brittany, a feminine given name taken from the historical region of Brittany in northwestern France. The given name is English, while the place name behind it comes from Latin Britannia, the land of the Britanni or Britons, by way of French Bretagne. A more literal explanation of the regional name is "land of the Bretons." The deeper origin of the Latin ethnonym Britanni is uncertain. In Bryttany, the first y replaces the first i of Brittany; the two spellings share the same origin and meaning.
Bryttany Name History & Origins
The peninsula now called Brittany was known in ancient times as Armorica. From the fifth and sixth centuries, Celtic Britons crossed the English Channel from Britain and settled there, giving the region a new Latin name, Britannia (also Britannia minor, "lesser Britain"), and an Old French form, Bretaigne, which became Bretagne in modern French. English speakers adopted the place name as Brittany. The personal name Brittany is an English-language use of that regional name; it became established as a feminine given name in the English-speaking world in the 20th century. Bryttany is a later respelling of Brittany, using y in place of the first i; it has no separate etymology of its own.
