Bertoldi is an Italian patronymic name with a plural -i ending meaning “descendants of Bertoldo,” itself from the Germanic Berthold (beraht “bright” + wald “rule”), hence “bright ruler.” It entered Italian onomastics via Lombard and medieval German influence and is common as a surname in northern regions such as Trentino, Veneto, and Emilia. As a first name, Bertoldi is rare today and reads as a surname-style choice; the root appears in the popular folk figure Bertoldo from Giulio Cesare Croce (1606) and in numerous medieval German nobles and clerics named Berthold.

Variants and related forms include Bertoldo, Berthold/Bertholdus (Latin), Bertold, Bartold (Slavic), and the diminutives/patronymics Bertolino, Bertoli, Bertolucci, and Bertolli; short forms Berto and Toldo. A feminine counterpart, Bertolda, exists in Italian. Italian pronunciation: behr-TOHL-dee.
