Albert
Featured in baby name books
Albert is a Germanic name meaning “noble and bright,” often extended to “famous,” with forms like Albrecht and Alberto and nicknames Al and Bertie. Prince Albert, husband of Queen Victoria, popularized the name in England, and Albert Einstein linked it with genius; it was very popular until the 1930s but has since faded. An unusual namesake is Albert Pierrepoint, Britain’s long-serving chief hangman, who later turned against capital punishment.
