Britteney is a unique and uncommon female given name of American origin. It was coined by author Anne Rice for her character in 'The Witching Hour', the first book of The Lives of the Mayfair Witches series, published in 1990. The name Britteney is believed to be derived from the Old English word 'Briton', meaning 'of Britain'. However, as it was created by Anne Rice for her fictional character, its exact meaning and derivation are not definitive.
"Britteney had its peak popularity from 1988 to 1989 with 14 babies born each year. However, it seems the name's usage dipped significantly by 1990 and remained low until 1999."
