More likely http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bertha_Krupp, from there (disputed) to http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Bertha_(howitzer), and from there to http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Bertha

Here's the official namesake: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bertha_Knight_Landes

I couldn't help thinking about Bertha, the huge machine from the early '80s British children's TV series.
