Lambert Family History
Lambert Name Meaning
English, French, Dutch, and German: from a Germanic personal name
composed of the elements land ‘land’, ‘territory’ +
berht ‘bright’, ‘famous’. In England, the native Old English
form Landbeorht was replaced by Lambert, the Continental
form of the name that was taken to England by the Normans from
France. The name gained wider currency in Britain in the Middle Ages
with the immigration of weavers from Flanders, among whom St. Lambert
or Lamprecht, bishop of Maastricht in around 700, was a popular cult
figure. In Italy the name was popularized in the Middle Ages as a
result of the fame of Lambert I and II, Dukes of Spoleto and Holy
Roman Emperors.
