Albertha

Albertha Origin and Meaning

The name Albertha is a girl's name.

Albertha is a feminine variant of Albert, which derives from the Germanic elements 'adal' (noble) and 'beraht' (bright). This feminine form has historical usage dating back centuries but became more common in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Albertha follows a traditional naming pattern of adding feminine suffixes ('-tha' or '-a') to masculine names. Usage records show Albertha had modest popularity in the United States during the early 1900s, appearing consistently in birth records from that period. Its popularity gradually declined in the latter half of the 20th century. The name has appeared across various communities throughout the United States and has connections to Germanic naming traditions through its root name Albert. Notable bearers include American blues singer Albertha Hunter (1895-1984), which helped maintain the name's recognition.
