Name Meaning
Some characteristic forenames: French Andre, Marcel, Gilles, Normand, Armand, Lucien, Pierre, Emile, Michel, Edouard, Gaston, Yves.
French, Walloon, English, German, Dutch, Flemish, and Breton (of French origin); Hungarian (Róbert): from the ancient Germanic personal name Ro(d)bert (Middle English Robert, Old French Ro(d)bert), composed of the elements hrōd ‘fame, renown’ + berht ‘bright, famous’. This is found occasionally in Anglo-Saxon England before the Conquest, but in the main it was introduced into England by the Normans and quickly became popular among all classes of society. Pet forms and diminutives are found from an early date, Robin being particularly common. Compare Robair , Robar , Robare , and Rober .
In some cases also an Americanized form of one or more similar (like-sounding) Jewish surnames.
