Bridget McKeown
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".

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.
