Brygida Origin and Meaning

The name Brygida is a girl's name of Polish origin.

Brygida is a feminine name of Polish origin, serving as the Polish variant of Bridget (or Brigid). The name ultimately derives from the Celtic name Brighid, meaning 'exalted one' or 'high one.' In Irish mythology, Brighid was the goddess of poetry, healing, and smithcraft. Brygida carries the same powerful heritage as its more common counterparts but with a distinctive Slavic flair. Though not widely used outside Poland and Polish communities, the name maintains steady popularity within these cultural contexts. The unique 'y' and 'g' combination gives Brygida a strong visual presence, while still maintaining its connection to the beloved saint and goddess namesakes.
