Gender: Feminine

Etymology:
Brittney is a modern variation on Brittany, which comes from a Celtic tribe called the Britons. When the Anglo-Saxons invaded England circa 500 A.D., the Britons fled to France, to a region then named Brittany. The Britons also left their name to the British Isles, Great Britain, and the British people. Britannia is the Latin name for Great Britain.

History:
Although there are a few instances of “Britannia” in 18th century England, Brittany and Brittney are very much late 20th-century names.
