Name Meaning

German, English (mainly in southeastern Scotland, of Norman origin), French, and Danish: from the ancient Germanic personal name Bertram, composed of the elements berht ‘bright, famous’ + hramn ‘raven’. The raven was the bird of Odin, king of the gods, in ancient Germanic mythology. The personal name was common in France throughout the Middle Ages (especially in the form Bertrand ), where its popularity was increased by the fame of the troubadour Bertrand de Born (c. 1140–1214). The name was taken to England by the Normans in the forms Bertran(d), Bertram, and Bartram.
