Britt is English in Origin.
Britt is a Scandinavian short form of Birgitta/Birgit, cognate with Bridget and Brigitte, ultimately from Old Irish Brigid/Brighid meaning “exalted, high” and by extension “strength, vigor” (from brígh). It established itself as an independent given name across Sweden, Norway, and the Netherlands in the 20th century. In English, Britt can also function as a clipped form of Brittany, from Latin Britannia “land of the Britons,” adding a parallel toponymic sense.
Usage peaked in Scandinavia from the 1940s through the 1960s, with international visibility boosted by Swedish actress Britt Ekland; in the U.S., it appears both as a standalone name and as a nickname, e.g., for Brittany (actress Britt Robertson). Variants and relatives include Brit, Britta, Brita, Birgit, Birgitta; and internationally, Bridget, Bridgette, Brigitte, Brigitta, and Brígida. While chiefly feminine, Britt can be unisex in modern contexts, especially as a nickname.
