Origin and etymology of the name

Linguistic explanation and meaning

A Germanic name meaning a bright, famous Angle or shining warrior.

Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

Meno pochádza zo starohornonemeckého mena Angilberht (Engilberht), utvoreného z prvkov angil, označujúceho príslušníka germánskeho kmeňa Anglov, a berht vo význame „jasný, žiarivý, slávny“. Pôvodne teda vyjadrovalo význam „slávny Angl“ alebo „žiarivý príslušník Anglov“. Prvý prvok sa neskôr pod vplyvom kresťanstva spájal so starohornonemeckým engil „anjel“, preto sa meno druhotne vykladalo aj ako „anjelsky žiarivý“.
