Engelbert is a Germanic name that means “bright angel” or “shining angel.” It is a combination of the Old High German words “engel” (angel) and “berht” (bright, shining).
The name Engelbert was quite popular in Germany in the 19th and early 20th centuries, and it has been used by several notable figures throughout history, including Saint Engelbert of Cologne, a 13th-century archbishop and martyr, and the Belgian singer Engelbert Humperdinck, who rose to fame in the 1960s and 1970s.
Today, the name Engelbert is not as commonly used as it once was, but it still has a distinctive and memorable sound that may appeal to some parents looking for a unique and meaningful name for their child.
