Bertolt
b(e)-rto-lt,
ber-tolt
Origin:German
Other Origin(s):Dutch
Meaning:Bright power; Renowned leader
Bertolt is a Dutch variant of the classic Berthold, translating to "bright power" or "renowned leader." It is derived from the Old High German beraht, which means "bright" and walt, being "power" or "authority." Fans of Attack on Titan might think of Bertolt Hoover's pivotal role in breaching Wall Maria as a significant act of leadership from the Marleyan perspective. His actions set off a chain reaction that profoundly impacted Eren Jaeger, evolving him into one of modern literature's most complex anti-heroes. Perhaps your little Bertolt can also have such an impact—but perhaps for a more clear-cut moral cause in their case!
