Brettee is English in Origin.

Brettee is a modern English elaboration of Brette/Brett, ultimately from Anglo-Norman and Middle English bret, "a Breton," an ethnonym applied to people from Brittany in France, or more broadly "a Briton." The root goes back to Latin Britto/Brittones and the Celtic peoples of Britain and Armorica. As a transferred surname, the name carries the sense of "from Brittany" or "of Breton descent," and by extension "from Britain."

As a given name, Brett emerged in the English-speaking world in the 19th-20th centuries, becoming widely used in the later 1900s; the clearly feminine Brette followed, and Brettee represents a contemporary, decorative double-e spelling to emphasize a feminine sound. Common variants and relatives include Brett, Bret, Brette, Britt, Britton, and Breton; less common spellings are Bretta and Brettey. Short forms may include Bree or Ettie.
