What Brittany means
Where Brittany comes from and what it has meant to the people who carry it.
Brittany begins as a place. The name points to Brittany, the peninsula in northwest France, and its root is Celtic. The region took its name from the Britons, who sailed south from the island of Britain and settled the coast. The short meaning holds: from Brittany, from Britain.
As a first name Brittany belongs mostly to English. It came into wide use for girls in the 1980s, and in the United States it ranked near the top of the charts around 1989 and 1990. The place had become a person.
Picture a Polish school register with a Brittany on the list, one foreign name among the Karolinas and Zuzannas at the imieniny. The name has no diminutive of its own and no male form. What it keeps is its geography. To read it is to read a map of the old Celtic coast, from Britain to Brittany.
