Bridie

Meaning: (Exalted One, The High One, Strength, Diminutive of Bridget, In Irish mythology this was the name of the goddess of fire, poetry and wisdom, the daughter of the god Dagda. In the 5th century it was borne by Saint Brigid, the founder of a monastery at Kildare and a patron saint of Ireland. Because of the saint, the name was considered sacred in Ireland, and it did not come into general use there until the 17th century. In the form Birgitta this name has been common in Scandinavia, made popular by the 14th-century Saint Birgitta of Sweden, patron saint of Europe.)

Origin: (Irish, Gaelic, Celtic)

Pronunciation: (BRY-dee, BRIYDiy)

Gender: Female

I forget where I saw this but I really do like it. I like Irish names and so this is another I really like. It has beautiful strong meanings and a unique look, well to anyone from America. I can see a fiery spirited maiden being named this or spunky girl in the modern era.
