Pitny is Czech, Slovak in Origin.

Pitny is a modern given name adapted from the English surname Pitney, which refers to the village in Somerset. The place-name is commonly analyzed from Old English elements: the personal name Pytta plus ēg, meaning “island” or “riverside meadow,” hence “Pytta’s island/meadow.” Some etymologies also note a possible link to pytt, “pit” or “hollow,” evoking a landscape of raised ground by a hollow. In Polish, pitny means “drinkable,” an unrelated but notable homonym; it has not functioned as a traditional given name in Slavic languages.

As a first name, Pitny is rare and largely contemporary, reflecting the broader trend of adopting surnames as given names in the UK, the US, and parts of the Commonwealth. Variants and related spellings include Pitney, Pittney, and the archaic Pytney. Diminutives are uncommon. The name reads as gender-neutral in modern usage, with a slight masculine tilt.
