The name Robert means ‘fame’ or ‘bright’.
The name Robert comes from the old Germanic name Hrodberht, derived from the near-synonymous elements ‘hrod’ meaning ‘fame or glory’ and ‘berht’ meaning ‘bright, shining’.
The French Normans introduced this name to Britain in the 11th century after the Norman Conquest of England, where it replaced the Olde English cognate Hreodbeorht.
Robert has remained a very common English name since the Middle Ages. The name was borne by two early kings of France, two Dukes of Normandy, and three kings of Scotland, including Robert the Bruce who restored the independence of Scotland from England in the 14th century.
Robert has been a perennial favorite among English-speaking nations.
The name has also given birth to several variations and pet forms including Rob, Robbie, Robin, Rupert, Bo, Bert, Bob and Bobby.
Robert remains a popular choice throughout the British Isles and Ireland as well as North America.
The Spanish form of the name, Roberto, is ranked high in Spain, Mexico and Latin America.
