Meaning & origin
Brithany is a modern respelling of Brittany that saw its first recorded use in 1986. Like many phonetic variants that flourished during the 1980s and 1990s, it represents a parent's desire for a familiar sound with a distinctive spelling. The name hit its peak popularity in 2015, but has since been falling in use. While Texas has been its top state, Brithany has never been among the top 1000 names nationally. Its rarity, 1 in 57,402 girls in 2025, makes it a choice for those seeking the sound of Brittany without the common spelling.
Brithany is a modern spelling variant of Brittany, a name derived from the place name Brittany, a region in northwestern France settled by Britons. The name Brittany gained popularity in the United States during the 1970s and 1980s, and Brithany emerged as a less common phonetic variant, first recorded in 1986.
