Meaning:Exalted one; Power, strength; Virtue
Adding an -e to Bridget creates an entirely unique variant, the feminine title Bridgete. Both Bridgete and Bridget are Anglicized spellings of Brighid and Brigit, two Irish monikers that find their roots in the Celtic language. Bridgete means "exalted one," "strength," "power," and "virtue," honoring the Celtic goddess Brigit, who ruled over the poetic arts, crafts, prophecy, and divination. Her story is often linked to that of Saint Bridget, one of the three patron saints of Ireland. How exactly the two figures are connected is still unclear, so you can tell little Bridgete that their name's story is still being written.
