History & Origin
Albertha feminizes Albert, from the Germanic adal ('noble') and beraht ('bright'), with a gentle -tha ending. Part of the early-century family that included Alberta and Bertha, it peaked around 1922. As those names cooled, Albertha faded (said 'al-BUR-thuh').
By mid-century the name had grown rare on American birth records. It reads today as a dignified antique feminine. Noble-rooted, stately, and uncommon.
