masculine · Finnish origin
Pertti is a Finnish masculine given name that developed as a vernacular adaptation of Perhtold or Berthold, a Germanic compound meaning bright rule, from the elements beraht (bright) and wald (rule). It became established in Finland as a fully naturalized form, used independently of its medieval German roots. Related names include the Scandinavian Bert and the broader Germanic family represented by Berthold and Bertram.
