About Albertine
Albertine and Alberta are old-fashioned feminizations ala Geraldine and Roberta: a little bit clunky, a little bit regal, just waiting for a celeb to use them to make them cool again. Familiar in France and the US in the first half of the 20th-century, Albertine has since fallen out of style and hasn't appeared in the US stats since the 80s.
With the popularity of Clementine and Alba, however, is Albertine one to reconsider? Nicknames Bertie, Albie, Alba, and Birdie add a fresh twist.
Pronounced AL-BEHR-TEEN.
As of October 2026, Albertine ranked #9131 in US births in 1981 SSA, peaked at #518 in 1883.
Editor's take: The name Albertine is a girl's name of French origin meaning "bright, noble".
