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 name spread in France and was introduced to England by the Normans, where it was popular during the Middle Ages.

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] |
