Ever since Allied soldiers in World War I dubbed the enormous German cannon "Big Bertha", this name hasn't worked for a sweet little baby girl. But this was not always so. Hard as it might be to imagine now, Bertha was a Top 100 name until the 1930s, and in the 1880s was the seventh most popular name in the land--the equal of Joseph.
 Bertha, aka Berchta, was a Teurtonic goddess borrowed from Norse mythology, regarded in her earliest incarnations as a beautiful and benevolent spirit. Bertha is an ancient Germanic name attached to the 6th century Saint Bertha of Kent, who was instrumental in the spread of Christianity, and it was the name of both the mother and daughter of Charlemagne. 
 In literature, Bertha Mason is the first wife of Rochester in Jane Eyre, and a character in Edith Wharton's The House of Mirth. The French version Berthe is represented by the French Impressionist painter Berthe Morisot and the neglected daughter in Madame Bovary. All in all, though, modern parents might do better to consider the Polish version, Berta.

The distinctive spelling with 'C' emerged in popularity during the late 20th century as parents sought unique variations of familiar names. Cayla gained moderate popularity in the United States during the 1980s and 1990s, appreciated for its soft sound and contemporary feel while maintaining connections to traditional naming patterns.

While Erina may look like popular Irish name Erin with an -a on the end (and some may well use it as such), it is in fact a multicultural choice.
 
From its Greek origins, it likely derives from Erinna, the name of an ancient poetess from the Island of Telos. Some sources suggest her name comes from erinos meaning "spring", while others connect it to heros meaning "hero". In this case, it would be pronounced as i-RIN-uh.
 
As a Japanese name, Erina blends the kanji symbols meaning "benefit, favor" and "village, parent's home" and would be pronounced EH-REE-NA. In Albania, meanwhile, it may be used as a form of Irina (meaning "peace") or Erjona ("our wind"), connecting it to nature too.
 
Additionally, it has been used as a Swiss-Italian form of Irene, or a floral choice, inspired by the erinus alpinus, better known as the alpine balsam or the star flower, as a Maori form of Elena and Ellen, and, as mentioned earlier, as an elaboration of Erin.
