Asteroid 51599, Brittany, was discovered on April 28, 2001 by American amateur astronomer Loren C. Ball at Emerald Lane Observatory in Decatur, Alabama. It has a period of 3 years, 156 days.
Ball named the asteroid for his niece, Brittany Johnson.
The culture and language of the Brittany region of France has long been suppressed or at least not encouraged that much by the French government and culture. At one point, the singer Britney Spears seemed to crack under pressure of bad publicity, as well as the breakup of her marriage to Kevin Federline.

This seems to inform the astrological meaning of asteroid Brittany: persecuted for one's way of life.
