Brígh

An Irish name associated with “power,” “strength,” or “vigour.”

Meaning and history

Brígh is an Irish feminine name and word associated with “power,” “strength,” “vigour,” or the essential force of something. It belongs to the same broad linguistic family as Brigid, from Old Irish Brigit, traditionally interpreted as “exalted one,” although the forms should not be treated as identical in every historical context. The accent marks the long vowel in Irish. Brígh is uncommon as an exact modern given name, so reliable prominent bearer examples are limited.
