Bertoll Origin and Meaning

The name Bertoll is a boy's name.

Bertoll is an uncommon masculine name with Germanic roots. It likely developed as a variant of names like Berthold or Bertold, which combine the Old Germanic elements 'beraht' meaning 'bright' or 'famous' and 'wald' meaning 'rule' or 'power.' This combination creates a meaning along the lines of 'bright ruler' or 'famous leader.' The name has medieval origins but never achieved widespread popularity. Bertoll has remained exceptionally rare in contemporary usage, maintaining an old-world, distinguished quality. The name might appeal to parents seeking something with historical depth and Germanic heritage while being distinctively uncommon. Its strong consonant ending gives it a solid, masculine sound.
