About Alberta

This jazzy old name could make a comeback, the way Josephine and Ella have. In England the name was popularized by Queen Victoria's daughter Princess Louise Caroline Alberta, after whom her governor general of Canada husband named the North American province. Jazz singer Alberta Hunter was a noted bearer.

Alberta is also given to boys.

Pronounced al-BER-tuh.

As of October 2026, Alberta ranked #6107 in US births in 1987 SSA, peaked at #1005 in 1906.
