I know it's hard to believe, but I saw the answer in a crossword. The name of the WWII cannon was "Big Bertha". Correction: "Big Bertha" was a large Howitzer in WWI, not WWII.
One certain German WWI 42-cm howitzer cannon was famous as Dicke Bertha ("fat Bertha", "big Bertha"). One legend says that the name is after the wife of the owner of Kruppwerke, that produced the piece. Or the name can just originate in the German spelling alphabet, where B is pronounced Bertha.
Artillery in WW1 was used in Battery or even larger formations.
