Bertie is in Origin.
Bertie is an English diminutive formed from the Germanic element berht/beraht, "bright, famous." It arose as a pet form for a cluster of -bert names - especially Albert ("noble + bright"), Herbert ("army + bright"), Robert ("fame + bright"), Bertram, and Bertrand - and it also serves as a unisex short form of Alberta, Roberta, and Bertha. Because the core element is shared, Bertie carries the general sense of "bright, illustrious."
In Britain the name flourished in the late Victorian and Edwardian eras, sometimes standing independently. Two British monarchs bore the family nickname Bertie: Edward VII (born Albert Edward) and George VI (born Albert), cementing its genteel image; literary fans will also recognize Bertie Wooster of P. G. Wodehouse. Usage waned mid-20th century but has seen vintage revival interest. Variants and related forms include Bert, Berty, Berti, and continental Berto; feminine equivalents include Alberta and Roberta.
