  1. 1

    A female given name from the Germanic languages.

    You are the beautiful Bertha, the spinner, the queen of Helvetia; / She whose story I read at a stall in the streets of Southampton

    Why couldn't they have called her by her first name, Bertha, which was beautiful and dignified, instead of that silly "Rilla"?

    Variante di PerchtaAlternative form of Perchta (“goddess in Alpine paganism”).

Etimologia

Definitely from Old English Berþa as a result of metathesis of h, from earlier Old English Berhte (“bright one”), influence of Latin Bercta. Alternatively, from Old High German berhta (“bright one”), which was an epithet of the goddess Frigg.
