What does my name "Alberta" mean in Hebrew?

Can anyone help me with this? I would be very interested in knowing the Hebrew meaning and if possible the Hebrew letters for "Alberta". Thank you!

What does my name "Alberta" mean in Hebrew?
There's no Hebrew meaning to the name Alberta; but for the people name Albert they usually change it to Abraham (Avraham) or Avi as an Hebrew name, and for girls: Avirama





According to "Behindthename" Alberta is originally from the Germanic name Adalbrecht, which was composed of the elements adal "noble" and beraht "bright". This name was common among medieval German royalty. It was introduced by the Normans to England, where it replaced the Old English cognate Æðelbeorht. Though it became rare in England by the 17th century, it was repopularized in the 19th century by the German-born Prince Albert, the husband of Queen Victoria.





Translating it to Hebrew would sound completely different, like:


Neora or Atzilla (bright or noble) which aren't usual names. We have Naor for a guy, which means enlightened
Reply:It's not a Hebrew name, so it doesn't have a Hebrew meaning.


It's written אלברטה.
