    The Story Behind Norberta

    Norberta is the feminine form of the Germanic name Norbert. The name is derived from the Old High German elements 'nord' meaning 'north' and 'beraht' meaning 'bright' or 'famous'. While Norbert has a long history, particularly associated with Saint Norbert of Xanten, the feminine form Norberta is less common and emerged later as a direct feminization.
