Gunbritt is Scandinavian, Swedish in Origin.

Gunbritt is a modern Scandinavian compound feminine name, most common in Sweden and among Swedish-speaking Finns. It fuses Gun - Swedish from Old Norse Gunnr, “battle” - with Britt, the Swedish short form of Birgitta (Bridget), from Old Irish Brígid, “exalted, strong, vigorous,” long linked to Saint Brigid of Kildare. Together, the elements suggest an “exalted warrior” or a blend of battle-mettle and elevated virtue rather than a fixed literal meaning.

The double-name pattern became fashionable in Sweden in the 1940s–1960s, and Gunbritt belongs to that cohort alongside pairs like Britt-Marie and Ann-Kristin; usage has declined since the late 20th century but remains recognizable. Common variants are Gun-Britt and Gun Britt; related names include Gun, Gunn, Gunhild, Gunborg, Britt, Birgitta, Bridget, and Brigitte. Many bearers informally use just one element, especially Britt.
