Origin: Norse

Meaning: Earth; Strong, vigorous, healthy

Hertha is a feminine name that's both heavenly and down-to-earth. It's rooted in the German name Nerthus, a goddess associated with early pagan traditions. Nerthus and its Old Norse form, Njǫrðr, were often mistranslated to Hertha, thanks to their earthy meanings, "earth," "strong," vigorous," and "healthy." As baby grows, this name will help them forge an unbreakable bond with nature and strengthen their roots!
