Gilbert (given Name)
Gilbert is a given name of Norman-French origin, itself from Germanic ''Gisilberht'' or ''Gisalberht''. Original spellings included ''Gislebert'', ''Guilbert'' and ''Gilebert''. The first element, ''Gil-'', comes from Germanic ''gīsil'', meaning "shaft of an arrow" or ''gisal'' "pledge, hostage", while the second element, ''-bert'' comes from Germanic ''-behrt'', short form of ''beraht'', meaning "bright" or "famous". The name spread in France and was introduced to England by the Normans, where it was popular during the Middle Ages. That is the reason the pronunciation ''Gil-'' reflects the Northern Norman one , as opposed to Old French > French and explains the alternative spelling ''Guilbert'' with ''Guil-'' . Variant spellings have evolved throughout Europe, including the Iberian/Italian version ''Gilberto'' and, as was the custom across Europe, given a Latin language version ''Gilbertus'', to be used alongside a person's native variant. The diminutive, ''Gil'', eventually ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Gilbert Hill
Gilbert Hill is a monolith column of black basalt rock at Andheri, in Mumbai, India.

During that era, molten lava had spread around most of the Indian states of Maharashtra, Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh, covering an area of . The volcanic eruptions were also responsible for the destruction of plant and animal life during that era. According to experts, this rare geological phenomenon was the remnant of a ridge and had clusters of vertical columns in nearby Jogeshwari which were quarried off two decades ago. These vertical columns are similar to the Devils Tower National Monument in Wyoming, and the Devils Postpile National Monument in eastern California, USA.
