Meaning and background
The story behind Brittney
Brittney is a spelling variation of Brittany, whose origin is the north-western French region of that name. It shares an English two-syllable spoken form with Britney, despite an extra letter in the spelling. Unlike the independent Scandinavian name Britt, Brittney is traced through the Brittany place-name tradition. That small distinction prevents several similar-looking names from being given the wrong origins.
