Berdie, derived from the German 'Berthold,' is an uncommon yet distinctive given name of German origin. It is composed of two elements: 'berht' meaning 'bright' and 'hold' signifying 'power' or 'strength.' This name was popular among early medieval Germans, and it is often associated with the historical figure St. Berthold of Molsheim, a French bishop from the 10th century.
The name Berdie experienced notable fluctuations in popularity over the given time span. Its usage peaked between 1915 and 1923 with a high of 29 births in 1928. However, it fell into relative obscurity by mid-century, with fewer than 10 births per year from 1947 onwards. The total number of births named Berdie over this period was 1114.
