=========================================

Herr (Hr.; pl., Herren)

for men (broadly equivalent to Mr., Lord and Sir in English). This word also means "master, owner, ruler, gentleman" and is also a form of address for the Christian God (English equivalent: Lord). If the surname is not used or known, e. g. when addressing a stranger in the street, the correct form is der Herr ("sir" or "gentleman"). Mein Herr and werter Herr (lit. “my lord” and “worthy lord”) are also sometimes used, though these have an old-fashioned touch. In correspondence, the correct form of address is Sehr geehrter Herr ("Dear Mr." or "Dear Sir", lit. "Very honored lord"), followed by the surname.

Meaning of Berthout (Berthoud being a variant):
The name Berthoud is a surname of German and French origin that means "bright strength" or "renowned leader". It comes from the ancient Germanic name Bertwald, which is made up of the words berht ("bright, famous") and wald ("rule").

The second element has been altered by association with German hold 'lovely, splendid'. This surname is also found in Haiti, where it is very rare.
