The engelbert Surname
engelbert Name Meaning and History
German, English, and French: from a Germanic personal name composed
of engel (see Engel) + berht ‘bright’,
‘famous’. The widespread popularity of the name in France during the
Middle Ages was largely a result of the fact that it had been borne by
a son-in-law of Charlemagne; in the Rhineland it was more often given
in memory of a bishop of Cologne (1216–25) of this name, who was
martyred.
