Robert is a common name in the French-speaking world; it is the French form of a name that is actually Germanic in origin. The original form is "Hruodberht," meaning "illustrious fame." The German name Ruprecht comes from the same source, although the Germans now also use the French form Robert. Old English had the name Hreodbreaht, which also comes from the same source, but with the Norman invasion in English we now also use the French form "Robert."
