Meanings

A male given name: derived from Robert.

Rupert is an English truncation of Latin Rupertus, which derives from Old High German Hruodoperht/Hruodoberht ('p' and 'b' are the voiceless and voiced cognates of the same consonant); which is also the source of the name Robert. Thus, "Rupert" and "Robert" are different modern forms of the same name. The Old High German form of the name evolved from Germanic Hrothi, "fame, glory" + Berht, "bright"; thus, Rupert and Robert mean "bright fame."

Masc. proper name, probably a blend of German Ruprecht and English Robert.

Bright fame, bright, shining.
