Bertta

  1. a female given name, equivalent to English Bertha
    • 1988, Ella Ojala, Pitkä kotimatka, Tammi, published 2005, →ISBN, page 300:
      - Meidän Bertta se on potra tyttö, vaikkei ihan aina ole ruoka-aikaan kotonakaan, Ukko Barndik kehaisi miniäänsä. - Eikä sillä ole ihan tavallinen nimikään. Niinkuin ei ole meidän sukunimikään tavallinen.
      - Our Bertta is a lively girl, even if she's not always home at dinner, Ukko Barndik praised her daughter-in-law. - And her name isn't usual either, nor is our surname.
    • 2016, Niina Hakalahti, Lumilinna, Karisto, →ISBN, page 58:
      - Minkäs ikäisiä sun lapset nyt onkaan?
      - Bertta on kuus ja Johannes yhdeksän.
      Kalliovaara oli varmasti harkinnut lasten nimiä pitkään ja päätynyt turvallisiin mutta tyylikkään vanhahtaviin nimiin.
      - How old were your children again?
      - Bertta is six and Johannes nine years old.
      Kalliovaara must've surely thought about the names for a long time and decided on safe but stylish, somewhat old-fashioned, name.
  2. The letter B in the Finnish spelling alphabet.
