Ellbyrtah is in Origin.

Ellbyrtah is a modern, ornamental re-spelling that draws on the Germanic name-family built around berht/berhta, meaning “bright” or “famous.” It most closely parallels Elberta/Elbertha, feminine forms of Elbert/Albert, which combine elements for “noble” (adal/æthel) and “bright.” As a result, Ellbyrtah carries the layered sense of “noble and bright” or “illustriously bright,” while its doubled l and y introduce a contemporary, stylized feel without changing the core pronunciation (EL-ber-tah).

Use of the underlying forms has deep roots: Bertha was common across medieval Europe via saints and queens, and it revived in the 19th century. Elberta surfaced in the late 1800s in the United States - helped into public view by the famed Elberta peach - then waned by mid-20th century. Close variants and diminutives include Elberta, Elbertha, Albertha, Alberta, Bertha, Berta, Berthe, Berte; short forms Ellie, Elba, Berta, and Bertie; cognates Berta (Spanish/Italian), Berti/Berte (German/Scandinavian).
