MEANING & HISTORY
What does Elbert mean?
Elbert is a form in the Albert family. The older Germanic compound combines noble with bright or famous. Its exact first vowel does not justify replacing the documented family relationship with an elf-name etymology.
Elbert and Albert are related transmitted forms, while individual records can preserve the spelling actually used.
