Meaning & Origin

Brittani is a girl's and boy's baby name of French origin, a variant spelling of Brittany, from the Celtic region meaning "Land of the Britons." The -i ending was part of the 1990s trend of spelling traditionally -y names with an -i, giving them a slightly more informal, playful look.

Brittani carries all of Brittany's history with a spelling that was very much of its moment — a name that captures the particular confidence of 1990s American naming, when a changed letter felt like an act of individuality.
