The name etymology is Celtic, although common forms of the name are "Bridget" spelled in different ways and in Germany "Brigita." Often the names are mispronounced "Bri-jee-ta" when in fact Brygida is pronounced "Bri-gee-da" or sometimes said as "Ber-gee-da." This is the Polish cognate of the name used a century or two ago as "Brighid" (Breed) which is a Christian name.

The name has a history of change of spelling and pronunciation based on the language/country and history. It is most likely never used as a boys name and is often, but still a rare naming becoming rarer, used for eastern European or North American girls. Although that can vary.
