Etymology: From Old English Æþelbeorht, from Proto-Germanic *Aþalaberhtaz, a compound of *aþalaz ("noble") + *berhtaz ("bright, famous"), or from French /Norman Albert, from Latin Albertus, itself from the Germanic name. Regardless of the exact route, it is a doublet of Ethelbert. It became popular in 19th-century England due to Queen Victoria’s consort, Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha.
