Brydgette is Irish in Origin.
Brydgette is a modern, ornamental respelling of Bridget/Bridgette, ultimately rooted in the Old Irish Brigid/Brighid. The name traces to the pre-Christian Celtic goddess Brigid, patron of fire, poetry, and craft, whose name is commonly interpreted as "exalted, high one" and by extension linked to strength and vigor. After Christianization, Saint Brigid of Kildare (5th–6th century) cemented the name in Irish tradition, from which English Bridget developed.
Through medieval and early modern Europe the cults of St. Brigid and St. Birgitta of Sweden spread cognates such as Bríd (Irish), Brigit, Brigid, Bridget, Bridgette, Brigitte (French), Birgit/Birgitta (Germanic/Scandinavian), and Brígida (Spanish/Portuguese). Mid-20th-century fame of Brigitte Bardot boosted French-style forms, inspiring elaborations like Bridgette. Brydgette follows this pattern as a rare, contemporary variant in Anglophone use. Familiar diminutives include Bridie, Biddy, Bree, and Jet; related spellings/variants to consider are Bridget, Bridgette, Brigid, Brighid, Brigitte, Birgit, and Birgitta.
