Hrodebert

Hrodebert is an Old High German given name composed of the elements hrod, meaning fame or glory, and beraht, meaning bright or shining, yielding the sense of one whose fame shines brightly. It was widely borne among Frankish nobility and clergy in the early medieval period, helping to spread the name across Europe. Hrodebert is the direct ancestral form of Robert, with intermediate variants including Hrodbert, Rodebert, and the Latinized Robertus.
