Meaning and origin

From Anglo-Norman Robert, from the Old Frankish cognate of Old High German Hrodperht (normalised form: Ruodberht), from Proto-West Germanic *Hrōþiberht, from Proto-Germanic *Hrōþiberhtaz (literally “shining glory”). Displaced native Old English Hrōþberht from the same source, which would yield English Rothbert. Doublet of Rupert.
