Bertè is quite rare, it would seem to have 3 stocks in the Messina area, in the Piacenza area and in the Trentino, Berti is widespread throughout central and northern Italy, Berto has a Veneto and a Lombard Piedmontese stock, may derive from the apheresis of the Latin name Libertus (typical of freed slave) as they can also derive from the medieval name Bertus in turn coming from the Longobard word bertha (luminous) or from the Celtic bert (bearer), or also from the apheresis of names like Adalberto, Giselberto, Otberto and the like; the use of this name is present for example in Florence in the 1300s, where we find a Bertus de Busticis. Traces of this surname can be found in a manuscript from 1404 which reads: "... for me Iohannem Bertum de Foroiulii (Cividale) scripturae finem adumpsit 1404 fluent mensis augusti luce 19 dum Bononiae in domo spectabilium militum Domini Melchionis et Barptolomei de Mozolis de Bononia permanerem ....
