Berthia is Germanic in Origin.
Berthia is a rare feminine given name formed as a Latinate elaboration of Bertha, whose root is the Old High German/Proto-Germanic berht/berhtaz meaning "bright, famous." The -ia ending reflects the style of Latinized parish-register spellings and the influence of names like Maria or Sophia; the sense of the name remains "bright, illustrious" or "shining."
Usage is sporadic, with examples in Britain and North America from the 18th and 19th centuries, but it never achieved the widespread popularity of Bertha’s medieval and Victorian peaks (helped by saints such as Bertha of Kent). Today Berthia feels antique and strikingly uncommon. Closest variants include Bertha (English, German), Berta (Spanish, Italian, Slavic), Berthe (French), and Berte (Scandinavian); extended forms such as Albertha also occur. Possible nicknames are Bertie and Birdie. Related names sharing the same berht "bright" element include Albert, Alberta, Hubert, and Robert.
