Robert means bright fame.

Note: The answer is correct, but the question is flawed. Robert is origianlly Norman French, not English. The second syllable evidences its French origins and is pronounced "bear" in its native language; thus, "Roe'-bear."

The Normans (from Normandy, now part of France) spoke a dialect of French and brought both the language and the name with them during the conquest of England. French remained the language of the court for many years and the first language of the ruling Norman class. Normandy was settled by Norsemen (Vikings), thus the name.
