Bright fame
A diminutive of Roberta or Barbara, most commonly associated with the Germanic roots meaning 'bright fame'. While it originated as a nickname, it gained independence as a given name in the mid-20th century. It carries a friendly, mid-century charm that is currently being rediscovered as a vintage choice.
