Hrodperht

Hrodperht is an Old High German given name composed of the elements hrod, meaning glory or fame, and beraht, meaning bright or shining, yielding an overall sense of bright glory or shining fame. It was borne in medieval Germanic-speaking lands and belongs to the same well-attested naming tradition that produced numerous royal and ecclesiastical figures across the Frankish and Holy Roman imperial periods. The name is the direct Old High German precursor of Robert, which spread throughout Europe via Norman influence and became one of the most widely used names in the medieval Western world. Related forms include Hrodebert, Hrodberaht, and the Latinized Robertus.
