No related spellings pass our data threshold.
Rare spellings summarised here: Liberti (199), Lyberti (88), Libertie (86), Libertad (56), Libertee (50), Lyberty (41).
Numbers are all-time US births. Links come from Wikidata’s “said to be the same as” (P460, CC0) and our spelling rule: at most two letters different, with the same sound pattern.
