Hughburta is Germanic in Origin.

Hughburta is a rare English feminine formation related to Hubert and Hugh, built from the Germanic elements hug- "mind, heart, spirit" and -berht "bright, famous." The composite sense is "bright-minded" or "famous for spirit," mirroring the meaning of Hubert. It reflects the medieval transmission of these names through Norman French (Hugues/Hubert) into English, while adopting a clearly feminine -a ending.

The name surfaces only sporadically in late 19th- and early 20th-century British and American records as a learned feminization or creative elaboration; it remains exceedingly uncommon today. Close variants and cognates include Huberta (German, Polish), Huberte (French), Uberta (Italian), Hughberta, and the Latinate Hubertina; related male forms are Hugh, Hugo, Hubert, and Huw.
