Remember Herbert as a personal name that normally begins with a capital H. Its old Germanic elements carry the ideas of an army and being bright or famous. Connect the second element with names such as Albert and Robert, which also contain a Germanic element meaning “bright” or “famous.” In a sentence, Herbert usually behaves like any person’s name: Herbert joined us, I called Herbert, or Herbert’s book. This combination of capitalization, historical name elements, and ordinary name patterns makes the word easier to recognize and use.

herbert の語源・成り立ち Etymology
古高ドイツ語の男性名で、heri（軍隊）+ beraht（輝かしい）から成る。「軍で輝く者」が原義。関連語: Albert（高貴+輝く）、Robert（名声+輝く）。-bert で終わる名前はゲルマン系に多く、いずれも「輝かしい」を意味する。
Herbert comes through Germanic naming traditions from elements represented in Old High German as heri, meaning “army,” and beraht, meaning “bright” or “famous.” The combined name therefore conveyed an idea such as “bright in the army.” Its second element also appears historically in other Germanic names, including Albert and Robert, although each name has a different first element.
