Rupert (name)
Rupert or Ruppert is an English truncation of Latin ''Rupertus'', which derives from Old High German ''Hruodoperht/Hruodoberht'' ('p' and 'b' are the voiceless and voiced cognates of the same consonant); which is also the source of the name Robert. Thus, "Rupert" and "Robert" are different modern forms of the same name. The Old High German form of the name evolved from Germanic Hrothi, "fame, glory" + Berht, "bright"; thus, Rupert and Robert mean "fame bright".
