Meaning & origin
Brittanie is a respelled variant of Brittany that first appeared in U.S. records in 1973, during the rise of the original name. It reached its peak popularity in 1989, a year that saw many parents deviating from the standard Brittany spelling. The trajectory of the name has been falling since 1990, reflecting a broader decline of the 'Brittany' style after the 1980s peak. Unlike the standard spelling, Brittanie never cracked the top 1,000, making it a relatively rare choice even at its height. Its usage has been concentrated in the late 20th century, and it does not appear among the top states ranked by popularity.
Brittanie is a variant spelling of Brittany, a name derived from the Latin Britannia, the name the Romans used for the island of Great Britain. The name became popular in the 1970s and 1980s as part of a trend toward place names, likely influenced by the French region Brittany. The spelling with 'ie' is a modern respelling, common in the late 20th century.
