Whittney

Meaning of Whittney

Whittney is a playful twist on the classic name Whitney, infusing it with an extra dash of sparkle. With roots in Old English—hwīt ēg, meaning “white island” or “island in the white water”—it conjures the image of a pearl floating on a gentle river. The name carries the same melodic spirit made famous by singer Whitney Houston, while its double T feels like a pinch of Indian masala, warm and vibrant. Whittney dances off the tongue like a Diwali sparkler in a Mumbai courtyard, bright, joyful, and impossible to ignore. It’s a name built for confidence and grace, perfect for a little girl destined to shine.
