Bridget
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". Its popularity, especially in Ireland, is largely related to the popularity of Saint Brigid of Kildare, who was so popular in Ireland she was known as "Mary of the Gael". 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.

Bridget (Guilty Gear)
is a fictional character in Arc System Works's ''Guilty Gear'' video game series. Bridget first appeared in the 2002 video game ''Guilty Gear X2''. In the series, Bridget was born male with a twin brother in a village where the birth of same-sex twins is considered bad luck; therefore, Bridget's family named and raised Bridget as a girl.

In adulthood, Bridget found that being a man did not make her happy, and realized her desire to be a woman not for the sake of her village's superstition, but as her own choice of gender identity. Bridget was created as "a cute character" by Daisuke Ishiwatari, who wanted to vary the cast of ''Guilty Gear X2'', where she was presented as a cross-dressing but self-identifying boy. Due to the character's appearance, Bridget was initially described as female by video game press. When they became aware of her biological sex, reviewers included Bridget on lists of best ...
