Britany is English in Origin.

Britany is a modern English feminine given name derived from the place name Brittany, the northwestern region of France. The place name stems from Latin Britannia, ultimately tied to a Celtic ethnonym for the ancient Britons; as a given name it conveys the sense “from Brittany” or “a Briton.” The region took its name from migrations of Britons to Armorica in the early Middle Ages, reinforcing the association with British heritage.

Used as a first name mainly since the late 20th century, Britany rose alongside Brittany/Britney in the 1980s and 1990s, buoyed by media visibility, though this streamlined spelling has always been the rarer form. Common variants include Brittany, Britney, Brittney, Brittani, Britani, Britnee, and Britni; short forms Brit and Britt are typical. While chiefly feminine in English, it functions as a place-name surname and could be considered unisex in broader usage.
