Birgitt is celebrated in Germany on July 23.
The name Birgitt is the German short form of Birgit, which in turn goes back to the Old Norse word "birr" for "bear" or "strong." It radiates a primal, Nordic strength, which, however, often changes to a friendlier, more accessible note through the shortened form "Birgitt." Historically, the name is closely associated with Saint Birgitta of Sweden, giving it a certain historical depth without appearing stiff. Today, it sounds timelessly classic, but reminds one less of the Middle Ages than of a certain down-to-earth authenticity.
Birgitt is the friend who maintains her calm in the storm, but tells the best joke in a cozy circle. At first glance, she may seem somewhat reserved or plain, but deep down she has a strong core and a fine, dry humor. You can rely on her, because she keeps what she promises, even if she sometimes appears a bit too pragmatic. Her laughter is contagious, and she brings an unexpected lightness to the situation even in stressful times.
