Adalbert (name)
Encyclopedia
Adalbert is an archaic given name which means "noble-bright, noble-shining", or “shining by the nobility”. It comes from Germanic adal or edel (noble) and berht (shining or bright).
In France, the name first appeared in the ninth century and its usage increased for about 200 years. Thereafter, it was increasingly supplanted by the shortened form of Albert
or Elbert.
In modern times, use of the name is rare but still attested on some occasions. Other names derived from Adalbert include Adalberht and Adalbrecht.
