Nittany is a reference to geographic features in Centre County, PA near the campus of Penn State.

Nittany can refer to Nittany Valley or Nittany Mountain (more commonly called Mount Nittany)

Mount Nittany is one mound in a series of ridges that separates Sugar Valley, Nittany Valley, and Penns Valley.
