'''Birgitta''' is the Swedish form of the [[Irish Gaelic]] female name ''Brighid''. Brighid was the name of an ancient [[Celt|Celtic]] goddess, and its English form is [[Bridget]]. Birgitta and its alternate form Birgit became common names in [[Scandinavia]] because of St. [[Bridget of Sweden]].<ref>Hanks, P. & Hodges, F. (1990). A dictionary of first names.
