ROBERT.
English and French name meaning "bright fame." It is the
same as Anglo-Saxon Hrodbyrht,
and German Hruodebert.
Usage: America, England,
France, Ireland, Scotland. Robert Louis Stevenson, the excellent author of such well-known
works as Treasure Island, Kidnapped, and the Strange Case
of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.
... after the son of St. Louis
carried it off to the House of Bourbon, the name scantily appeared among
the royal family. Normandy, however, cultivated it after it had
been chosen at the baptism of her first duke, and sent it to Apulia with
the astute Robert Guiscard,... The next Duke of Normandy who bore it was
that wild pilgrim, whose soubriquet varies between the Devil and the
Magnificent. The disinheritance of his equally wild, but more
unfortunate grandson, Robert Courthose, diverted it from the English
throne, but a flood of knights and nobles had poured in and established
it so completely, that in a few generations more Hob
was one of the established peasant names in England... (History of Christian Names, Yonge,
1884).
