Philbert is an uncommon, yet distinctively masculine given name of Latin origin. It is derived from the Latin word 'philbertus', which is a combination of the elements 'philus' meaning loved and 'bertus' signifying bright or famous. This unique moniker has been used sparingly throughout history, contributing to its rare appeal today.
The name Philbert experienced significant fluctuations in popularity over the course of a century. The highest number of births recorded in any single year was 23, which occurred in 1976. Conversely, there were six years where only one birth was registered (1985 and 1987), indicating that Philbert was not a commonly chosen name during those periods. Despite these ups and downs, the name has endured with a total of 797 births over this time span.
