The surname Bridger has its origins in Ireland. It is believed to be derived from the Old Gaelic name "Mac Brighid" which means "son of Brighid." Brighid, also spelled Brigid or Bridget, was a popular Irish female name associated with the Celtic goddess of fire, poetry, and wisdom.
The name Mac Brighid became anglicized over time to MacBride or MacBryde. In the process, the "Mac" prefix, which means "son of," was dropped, and the name evolved to simply Bridger. This change in the name likely occurred during the Anglicization of Irish surnames, which took place in the late 16th and early 17th centuries.
The Bridger surname is primarily found in the western parts of Ireland, particularly in counties such as Mayo, Galway, and Roscommon. These regions have a strong Irish Gaelic heritage, and the name Bridger has been passed down through generations of Irish families.
Over time, members of the Bridger family may have emigrated from Ireland to other parts of the world, such as the United States, Canada, or Australia, spreading the surname to new regions. Today, individuals with the surname Bridger can be found in various countries, but its Irish roots remain an important part of its history.
