Breeda Origin and Meaning

The name Breeda is a girl's name.

Breeda is a feminine name of Irish origin, traditionally used as an anglicized form of the Gaelic name Brighid (also spelled Bridget or Brigid). Brighid was the name of an ancient Celtic goddess associated with poetry, healing, and smithcraft, as well as the Christian St. Brigid of Kildare, one of Ireland's patron saints. The name derives from the Old Irish word 'brigh' meaning 'strength,' 'virtue,' or 'high.' Breeda maintains a distinctly Irish feel while being somewhat easier to pronounce for English speakers than some traditional Gaelic names. Though never widely popular internationally, Breeda has maintained steady usage in Ireland and among Irish diaspora communities, valued for its connection to Irish heritage and its melodic quality.
