This name may come from the Arabic word and has same meaning and sound ( الباهر) albaher... because Arabs golden age in that time and Germany may take this name from them.
This is my family name and we are ever proud to have it. We're southern west indians (Caribbean national) and clearly we received this name from the slave owner who owned my foreparents. Based on data, my greatgrandmother - Elizabeth Albert - 4 times before were from the last lot of slaves brought in. Fortunately, never cruelly treated by their owner and received many acres of lands as compensation. Our legacy was so rich, we had a street named after us. However, in the last several years, our wealth and social status have declined due to poor management of our estate and many family members marrying into families such as the Letts, Vincents, Panchoos, and Mitchells. There is only a handful of us who still use this name.
Albert is of German origin it means of noble birth.
You have an error I found.You said that the name "Albert" was born by 2 TWENTIETH century kings from Belgium < How can this be when Albert Einstein was born with the name in 1800's?
It's not entirely true that this name was introduced to Britain by the Normans. It existed in England prior to 1066 in its Anglo-Saxon form 'Æthelbeorht' which is modernised/Normanised as Albert. [noted -ed]
