Combination of Brittany and the suffix -lyn
Brittlyn is a modern American invention, likely created by blending the geographic name Brittany (referring to the region in France) with the popular melodic suffix -lyn. While Brittany originally means 'from Britain,' this compound form is chosen primarily for its contemporary sound rather than its etymological roots.
