Danish diminutive of BIRGITTA.

	BIRGITTA   female   Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, Icelandic, Finnish Most likely a Scandinavian form of BRIDGET via the Latinized form Brigitta. Alternatively it could be a feminine derivative of BIRGER. This is the name of the patron saint of Europe, Birgitta of Sweden, the 14th-century founder of the Bridgettine nuns. Her father's name was Birger.
		BRIDGET   female   Irish, English, Irish Mythology Anglicized form of the Irish name Brighid which means "exalted one". 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.
		BIRGER   male   Swedish, Norwegian, Danish From the Old Norse name Birgir, probably derived from bjarga meaning "help, save, rescue".
