MEANING & HISTORY
What does Lamberto mean?
Lamberto is the Italian and Spanish form of Lambert. The older Germanic elements are land and bright.
The ending adapts the inherited personal name into Romance languages without adding a separate word for ruler. Its history is distinct from the English noun lamb despite a similar opening sound.
