Halbert is an ancient Germanic given name, derived from the elements 'hali' meaning 'noble' and 'berht' meaning 'bright'. It was popular among early Anglo-Saxons but has since fallen out of common use. The name Halbert is believed to have been brought to Britain by early settlers from what is now Germany.
"Halbert experienced significant fluctuations in annual births over the given period, ranging from a low of 5 (in multiple years) to a high of 29 (in 1923). The name's popularity peaked around the early 1900s, with consistently high numbers between 1914 and 1923. However, it became less common after the 1930s, with fewer than 15 births per year occurring in most years since then."
