    Brigitte

    Pronounced brih-JEET

    girl
    Not found in the KJV text — No — the name Brigitte does not appear in the King James Bible. Christian families use it for its meaning, "Exalted one; Strength; Power", and for the biblical themes that meaning touches, not because anyone in Scripture is called Brigitte.
    Meaning
    "Exalted one; Strength; Power"
    Origin
    Irish/Celtic

    Brigitte carries the concept of exaltation — being lifted up by God. Scripture promises that 'he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.' The path to true greatness runs through humility, and God delights in raising the lowly.

    Spiritual meaning

    Brigitte speaks of divine exaltation — God lifting the humble to places of honor and spiritual strength.

    Questions about biblical name meanings

    How do I find the biblical meaning of a name?

    Type the name into the search box above. The tool returns the Hebrew, Greek, Aramaic, or Latin root behind the name, its literal meaning, and the King James Version passages where it appears.

    Does every name have a biblical meaning?

    No. Many modern Christian names never appear in Scripture, and some popular 'biblical meanings' circulating online are inaccurate. Where a name is thematic rather than scriptural, we say so plainly instead of inventing a verse for it.

    Which Bible translation do the verses come from?

    The King James Version. It is public domain in the United States, so the text can be quoted and shared freely.

    How can I tell whether a name is actually in the Bible?

    Each result distinguishes a name that appears in the KJV from a later Christian or thematic name. Related verses explain a theme; they are not presented as proof that a modern name occurs in Scripture.
