For the saint that's in it today, the etymology of the name "Brigit":

Modern Irish Bríd [ˈbʲrʲiːdʲ] < pre-reform Irish Brighid < Old Irish Brigit [ˈbʲrʲiɣʲədʲ] < Primitive Irish *Brigēddī [ˈbriɣɛːdːiː] < Proto-Celtic *Brigantī < Proto-Indo-European *bʰr̥g̑ʰn̥tih₂- "high one, elevated one (fem.)".

My last little project - a coiled basket I made for my mum from pine needles, reeds, some hemp and embroidery thread, and a few twigs of foraged driftwood.
