Bridget

• my youngest daughter's name. It's historical, feminine and strong. It's meaning is "strength" which is what i hope my daughter will possess.
• This is my best friend's name, and I carry her image with this name- warm, funny, creative, smart. That's why I like it so much.
• I actually have no idea - maybe cause I have an Irish name?

This is an anglicization of the Irish name Bríd or Bríghid. The most common Irish anglicization is Brigid (see also); Bridget being a later version, used when the name of one of Ireland's patron saints (St. Brigid of Kildare) became confused etymologically with one of Sweden's patron saints (Brigitta or Birgitta). The Irish name comes from an Old Irish word meaning "exalted, high goddess."
