Gitta

Gitta is a German and Hungarian short form of Brigitta, itself a Latinate variant of the Old Irish name Brighid, derived from the Proto-Celtic root meaning high or exalted. The name is ultimately connected to the venerated early medieval Irish saint Brigid of Kildare, whose cult spread widely across Europe. Gitta functions as an independent given name in both German-speaking and Hungarian contexts. Related forms include Brigitta, Brigitte, and Birgitta.
