Lubertha blends the familiar Lou- prefix with Bertha, yielding an American feminine given name rooted in Germanic elements. Lou relates to Louise/Louis (from Proto-Germanic Hlūdawīg, “famous warrior”), while Bertha comes from beraht, “bright, illustrious.” Together, Lubertha suggests “bright fame” or “famous and shining.” The name appears in U.S. records from the late 19th century, reached modest use from the 1910s to the 1940s - particularly in the American South and within African American communities - and is now rare.

Variants include Luberta and Louberta; related forms are Bertha and Berta, with nicknames such as Lu, Bertie, and Birdie. Internationally, it connects to the broader Bertha/Berta family found across Germanic and Romance languages. A notable bearer is Nevada civil rights leader Lubertha Johnson (1906–1996), lending the name historical resonance despite its uncommon status today.
