What is the meaning of the name Reginbertha ?

Reginbertha is in Origin.

Reginbertha is a rare feminine name of West Germanic origin, built from the elements regin/ragin ("counsel, ruling decision; the gods") and beraht/berht ("bright, illustrious"). Together it conveys "bright in counsel," "illustrious advice," or, poetically, "radiant with divine counsel." The -th- reflects the Old High German/Anglo-Saxon berht spelling that later yielded modern Bertha.

The compound appears in medieval Germanic onomastics, especially in Frankish and Lombard circles, often Latinized as Raginberta or Reginberta in records; it is much rarer than the masculine Reginbert/Raginbert and later Reinbert/Reimbert. Related and variant forms include Reginberta, Raginberta, Reinberta, Bertha/Berta, and the masculine counterparts Reginbert, Raginbert, Reinbert, and Rembert. Phonetic shifts from ragin- to rein-/rem- in Middle High German and Romance contexts produced variants across Europe, while the standalone Bertha enjoyed a broad 19th-century revival. Reginbertha remains an uncommon, archaic-flavored choice with a meaning tied to wisdom and renown.
