Meaning and history
Bertina is a feminine form or elaboration of Bert, used in Dutch, German, Italian, and English contexts. Bert can shorten names containing the Germanic element beraht, meaning “bright” or “famous,” such as Alberta, Bertha, or Roberta. The precise full-name source therefore varies by bearer. Bertina is also used independently. Notable bearers include Mozambican-Portuguese painter Bertina Lopes and South African athlete Bertina Louw.
