Burtil is Germanic in Origin.

Burtil is a rare Scandinavian masculine given name, generally viewed as a nonstandard or dialectal spelling of Swedish Bertil. Bertil derives from the Old High German Berthold (also Berchtold), formed from the Germanic elements berht "bright, famous" and wald "rule, power," yielding the sense "bright ruler" or "illustrious leader." Through medieval German influence, the name entered Nordic usage and took on a specifically Swedish form.

Documented instances of Burtil appear sporadically in 19th- and 20th-century parish and emigrant records in Sweden and among Swedish-American communities, often reflecting phonetic transcription of local pronunciation. The standard modern form is Bertil; related Nordic variants include Bertel (Danish, Norwegian, Faroese) and Pertti (Finnish). Cognates across Europe are Berthold/Berchtold (German), Bertoldo (Italian), and Bertold (Czech/Slovene). Short forms such as Bert are common, and feminine counterparts from the same root include Bertille (French) and Bertilla (Italian). As Burtil, the name remains distinctive and uncommon today.
