Athelbert is a variant name. (Source: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Wessex-361)
So damn sexy and studious. Makes me want to jump in bed with a book damnit.
There was a person in my school named Ethelbert, he was a bit mean and a bit nice, apparently he was named after his uncle Ethelbert who died the month before he was born. I think Ethel and Bert are lovely names but I think Ethelbert is rather silly. I give this name a 6/10. Thanks for reading :)
Ethelbert was my great-great-great-grandfather's name. He was born in Germany.
Super ugly, like mega ugly, like a trillion times ugly.
I definitely agree with you @Curious me.
This name is rare in itself and notable people with it are even rarer. However, this was the name of Ethelbert Woodbridge Nevin, an American pianist and composer. He wrote a few campaign songs, most notably one for James K. Polk's candidacy. He died in 1901.
A sort-of famous bearer of this name is the central character in the British children's cartoon Ethelbert the Tiger, who is an Indian tiger.
Could be classed as a combination of the once-popular female name Ethel with either Bert or Elbert, or even Albert. Ethelbert has the female version Ethelberta, which is even rarer than Ethelbert, but is borne by a character in Thomas Hardy's 1876 novel 'The Hand Of Ethelberta'.
Could be thought of as the grandad-ish version of the name Ethel, by appending the diminutive suffix '-bert' on to that name. However, it was never at all common when the name Ethel was popular, and both names are now out of fashion.
