Ruperta

Ruperta is the Spanish feminine form of Ruperto, itself the Spanish adaptation of the Germanic name Rupert, derived from the Old High German elements hrod, meaning glory or fame, and beraht, meaning bright or shining. The name thus carries the sense of bright fame or famous brilliance. Saint Rupert of Salzburg, an influential early medieval bishop and missionary, helped spread the name's use across Catholic Europe, lending it religious prestige. Related forms include Rupert, Ruprecht, and the Latinate Roberta, which shares a similar root in the element hrod.
