Bridget Of Saxony
Bridget is an Irish female name derived from the Gaelic noun ''brígh'', meaning "power, strength, vigor, virtue". An alternate meaning of the name is "exalted one".

This saint took on many of the characteristics of the early Celtic goddess Brigid, who was the goddess of agriculture and healing and possibly also of poetry and fire. One of her epithets was "Brigid of the Holy Fire".Todd (1998), p. 23 In German and Scandinavian countries, the popularity of the name spread due to Saint Bridget of Sweden.
