Bertolde Origin and Meaning

The name Bertolde is a boy's name.

Bertolde is a masculine name with Germanic origins, derived from elements meaning 'bright' or 'famous' (bert) and 'ruler' or 'power' (old/wald). It's a variant of the more common Berthold, which was popular among medieval Germanic nobility. This name carries connotations of leadership, wisdom, and distinguished character. Bertolde has fallen into relative obscurity in modern times, making it an exceptionally rare choice. It might appeal to parents interested in reviving ancient Germanic names or those with family connections to European heritage. Despite its rarity, Bertolde maintains an air of classical dignity and strength, reminiscent of medieval knights and nobles from European history.
