Meaning & History

Denotes "bright heart", originating from the Old German components hugu, meaning "mind, thought, spirit," and beraht, meaning "bright." Saint Hubert was an 8th-century bishop of Maastricht and is revered as the patron saint of hunters. The Normans introduced this name to England, where it supplanted an Old English cognate Hygebeorht. After disappearing during the Middle Ages, it experienced a resurgence in the 19th century [2].
