Mənası
The name Brigida is derived from the ancient Celtic name Brigid which means "exalted one" or "fiery arrow". The name was taken up by early Christians in honor of Saint Brigid of Ireland, a powerful abbess and a patron saint of Ireland known for her compassion and generosity.
Italian cognate of the Irish Brighid, which is believed to be derived from the Gaelic brigh (strength). The name was made popular in Italy by the fame of St. Birgitta (1302?-72), the patron saint of Sweden. A noblewoman and mother of eight children, she founded the Order of the Brigittines after her husband’s death, and traveled to Rome, where she attempted to reform religious life. (BREE-GEE-DAH)
