Adelberta is in Origin.

Adelberta combines the Old High German elements adal (“noble”) and berht/beraht (“bright, famous”), yielding the sense “noble and bright” or “nobly famous.” It is the feminine counterpart to Adalbert/Adelbert, transmitted through medieval Latin as Adalberta. Close relatives include Alberta (a clipped form that became more widespread), while international variants appear as Adalberta in Italian, Spanish, and Portuguese, and as Adalberte in French. Short forms and diminutives include Berta, Bertie, Ada, and Addie.

The name surfaces in medieval Germanic records and convent lists, sometimes chosen under the influence of the cult of St. Adalbert of Prague, whose fame popularized the masculine form. Usage remained regional in Central Europe, with occasional adoption in Southern Europe; it never took strong root in English. A 19th‑century medievalist revival briefly nudged Adelberta and its relatives into view. Today it’s rare, vintage, and aristocratically toned.
