Algertha is an uncommon yet distinctive given name of Germanic origin. It is composed of two elements: 'Algiz', which means "protection" or "defense", and '-thryth', derived from the word 'thryth', meaning "strength". The name was brought to Britain by Viking settlers during the medieval period but has since fallen out of common use, making it a unique choice for parents seeking an uncommon yet meaningful name for their child.
"Algertha saw its peak popularity with 5 births in 1919, but it has remained steady overall with a total of just 5 births."
