Bridgett Origin and Meaning
The name Bridgett is a girl's name.
Bridgett is a feminine name that represents a variant spelling of Bridget, originating from the Irish name Brighid, meaning 'exalted one' or 'strength.' Associated with the Celtic goddess Brighid and later with Saint Brigid of Kildare, one of Ireland's patron saints, the name carries significant cultural and religious heritage. This particular spelling with the double 't' gained popularity in the mid-20th century, offering a slightly modernized take on the traditional name. Bridgett peaked in popularity during the 1970s in the United States but has since declined. The name maintains its appeal for parents drawn to Irish heritage or seeking a name that balances classic roots with a contemporary spelling twist.
