Bertile is Germanic in Origin.

Bertile is a rare French feminine name, a variant spelling of Bertille, ultimately from the Old Germanic elements berht “bright, famous” and hild “battle.” The form passed into French via Frankish and medieval Latin Bertilla/Berthildis, yielding the sense “bright in battle” or “illustrious warrior.”

The name appears in early medieval records and owes much of its renown to Saint Bertille of Chelles (7th century), whose cult sustained use in Frankish and later French circles. It enjoyed a modest revival in 19th–early 20th‑century France and remains uncommon today, occasionally found in Francophone communities abroad. Variants and cognates include Bertille (French standard), Bertilla and Bertila (Italian/Spanish/Latin), Berthilde/Berthildis (Germanic/Latin), Bertilde, and the related forms Bertha and Berta. Possible nicknames are Tille/Tilla or Bertie. The masculine Scandinavian Bertil is a related offshoot of the same Germanic root.
