Albert m

French and English (Norman): of Germanic origin, composed of the elements adal noble + berht bright, famous. The Norman form displaced the Old English cognate Æpelbeorht. The name is popular in a variety of forms in Western Europe, and has been traditional in a number of European princely families. Its great popularity in England in the 19th century was due largely to Queen Victoria's consort, Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha. In Ireland, it has been used as an Anglicized form of the male name AILBHE (SEE Ailbhe).

Short forms: English: Al, Bert.
