Brigit is a streamlined spelling of the traditional Irish name Brigid, derived from the Old Irish 'Brigit' meaning 'exalted one' or 'high one.' It's directly connected to Brigid, the ancient Celtic goddess of poetry, healing, and smithcraft, who was later incorporated into Christian tradition as Saint Brigid of Kildare, one of Ireland's patron saints. While the more common spellings are Bridget or Brigid in English-speaking countries, this variant preserves the historical spelling while simplifying pronunciation. Brigit offers a balance between ancient heritage and contemporary simplicity. The name remains moderately familiar yet not overused, appealing to those seeking a name with strong feminine qualities, spiritual connections, and Celtic roots.
