Britony is English in Origin.

Britony is a modern English variant of Brittany, a place-derived given name referencing the northwestern French region Brittany. The toponym entered Middle English via Old French Bretaigne/Bretagne, from Latin Britannia “land of the Britons,” ultimately linked to the Celtic ethnonym that yielded Briton. As a given name, it conveys the sense “from Brittany” or “of the Britons,” with a gentle, geographic-romantic tone common to late 20th‑century names.

Usage surged for Brittany and its spellings in the 1980s–1990s across the United States and other Anglophone countries; Britony emerged in the same era as a creative respelling, remaining comparatively rare. Variant forms include Brittany, Brittney, Britney, Britany, Brittani, Brittanie, Britnee, Britni, and Brittoni; related surnames/given names include Britton and Breton. Nicknames include Britt, Brit, and Britty. Despite its modern look, the name carries historical resonance through its ties to medieval Armorica and the migration of Britons to Brittany.
