Birta is a unique and uncommon female given name of Icelandic origin. It is derived from the Old Norse word 'björt,' which means 'bright' or 'shining.' This name has been used in Iceland for centuries, but it remains relatively unknown outside of its native country. Birta is often associated with strength, independence, and resilience, characteristics that are stereotypically attributed to individuals bearing unique names.
Birta was quite popular in 1933 and 1945 with 6 and 8 births respectively, but less so in 1938 with only 5 births. Overall, there were 19 babies named Birta across these three years.
