Reason for Bridges being changed to Brydges

Classification: Query
Just was curious if anyone, knew why the bridges last name was changed from the I to the Y. I have heard stories that was passed down saying that it was something to do with horse thieves or living on the wrong side of the road.

If anyone has any clarification, i would really appreciate it.
