For the shining star about to light up your world, the lovely Birtha will enchant you like a moth to a flame. From the German Berchta, Birtha is a form of Bertha, meaning “shining,” “famous” and “the bright one.” Mythology enthusiasts may love that Berchta (aka Perchta) is the name of a goddess from Alpine paganism, mainly worshipped in the Upper German and Austrian regions. Birtha offers a youthful take on a classic Germanic name, with a subtle nod to one's roots or love of ancient gods.
