Bertholt is Germanic in Origin.
Bertholt is a Germanic masculine given name, a variant spelling of Berthold, from Old High German beraht/berht “bright, illustrious” + wald “rule, power,” yielding the meaning “bright ruler” or “illustrious leader.” The -holt ending reflects medieval orthography where -old/-olt alternated, and the name appears in Latinized records as Bertholdus. Cognates span German, Dutch, and Central European languages.
In use since the early Middle Ages, it was borne by nobles and clerics across the Holy Roman Empire; related bearers include the preacher Berthold of Regensburg and later the legendary Berthold Schwarz. Though rarer today, it survives in German-speaking countries as a traditional choice and as a surname. Variants include Berthold, Bertold, Bertolt, Berchtold, Bertholdt, and Italian Bertoldo; short forms and nicknames include Bert and Berto. Feminine counterpart occasionally cited: Bertholda.
