History & Origin
Albertia turns the sturdy Albert into a girl's name, carrying its Germanic meaning of 'noble' and 'bright.' Families in the early twentieth century often honored a male relative this way, and Albertia joins Alberta and Albertine in that tradition.
It was never common, given to only about fifteen girls a year at its peak around 1919 and largely gone by mid-century. Its clear, dignified meaning comes straight from Albert, dressed in a soft feminine ending.
