The name Bechtel is a German surname, however no German etymology source I can find can provide a provenance for the name.
One American source claims that is a Germanic form of Albert and means nobly famous.
This explanation should, however, be treated with some caution as, according to German etymology sites, its origin is unknown. One other reason for caution is that it is ONLY used as a surname, whereas Albert and its derivatives are used as forenames.
Albert itself is Old High German and derived from:
adal - noble, precious
beraht - radiant, bright, glowing
Other German(ic) forms of Albert are:
Albrecht
Adalbert
Adalbrecht
