"from Brittany or Great Britain". Modern coinage. From the name of an ancient duchy (Bretagne) in France. Celtic Bretons emigrated from France and became the Bretons of England; later the name "Britain" came to signify the entire country. The name has also been influenced by Britt, of which it is sometimes regarded as the full form.

I know it as a region of France and the breed of my dog (a French breed), as to the "meaning" a French speaker/teacher may be able to help.

Same as Bertha in German. It means a big, air headed woman with large pores, wreaking of cabbage in Old Deutsch lanquage.
