Meaning & Origin
A surname.
Britt is a boy's and girl's baby name of Old Norse and Celtic origin, a short form of Brittany or Britta — ultimately relating to the Celts of Britain or Brittany, from the Latin Brittanicus (British). As a masculine name, Britt is primarily Scandinavian, used in Sweden and Norway.
Britt has a clean, one-syllable crispness that sits comfortably alongside Brad, Brett, and Brock in the family of Br- masculine names. In Scandinavia it is used for both sexes, while in America it reads as a distinctly masculine surname-style name with a quiet Nordic confidence.
