Adalbert is an archaic given name which means "noble-bright, noble-shining", or “shining by the nobility”. It comes from Germanic adal or edel (noble) and berht (shining or bright).
In France, the name first appeared in the ninth century and its usage increased for about 200 years. Thereafter, it was increasingly supplanted by the shortend form of Albert.
other names derived from Adalbert include Adalberht and Adalbrecht.
