Albertia is a unique and distinctive given name of Latin origin, meaning 'noble' or 'high-born'. It is derived from the Latin word 'albus', which translates to 'white' or 'fair'. Albertia is composed of the elements 'Alber-' from the male name Albert, combined with '-ia' as a feminine suffix. This naming trend, where a masculine name is adapted for use by females, was popular during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It is important to note that despite its rarity today, Albertia was once quite common in France and other French-speaking regions.
The name Albertia experienced a significant surge in popularity between 1916 and 1928, with the highest number of births recorded in 1919 (15 births) and 1928 (12 births). However, it appears that this trend was short-lived as the total number of births declined considerably after 1930. From 1934 onwards, there were consistently fewer than 7 births per year for Albertia.
