What is the meaning of the name Brittah ?

Brittah is English, Scandinavian in Origin.

Brittah is a rare Scandinavian-leaning spelling of Britta, the Nordic short form of Birgitta/Brigitta, themselves from Irish Brigid. The root is Proto-Celtic brigant- (“exalted, high; strength”), carried into Irish as Brigid. Through Latinized Brigitta, the name travelled from early Irish tradition into medieval Europe, becoming closely tied to St. Brigid of Kildare and, later, St. Birgitta (Bridget) of Sweden.

Usage clusters in Sweden and Finland via Britta, while Brittah surfaces sporadically in older Swedish records and in modern creative spellings, typically pronounced BRIT-tah. Variants and cognates include Britta, Brita, Britte, Britt, Birgitta, Brigitta, Brigitte, Bridget, Brigid, Brígida, and Irish Bríd. The name carries a brisk, vintage-Nordic feel with a saintly pedigree, and suits parents seeking a familiar sound with a distinctive twist while retaining the meaning of strength and exaltation.
