Bertie

Bertie is an English diminutive form of names containing the Old High German element beraht, meaning bright or famous, most commonly used as a pet form of Albert, Herbert, or Bertram. It gained widespread familiarity in Britain partly through its association with Albert Edward, Prince of Wales and later King Edward VII, who was known informally as Bertie throughout his life. The name has been used for both males and females, functioning as an independent given name as well as a nickname. Albert, Bertram, Herbert, and Roberta are among the full forms with which it is closely linked.
