Comments (Meaning / History Only)

In the ancient Germanic language Robert was written as Hrōþiberhtaz. In Old Norse language, which was used by Vikings, it was written as Hrōðberχt. The name means "Fame-Bright".
This name actually means "fame-bright", not "bright fame" because "fame" is the first element and "bright" is the second element.
Robert also is derived from the French "roi" meaning king or royal. So adding to the base form, the name Robert also means, "royal brightness".
