Engelbert is a boy’s name of German origin, meaning “angel-bright,” and a darling way to dote on your little dove. A colorful combination of the Old German elements engil, meaning “angel,” and beraht, meaning “bright,” Engelbert sings in sweet adoration of baby’s goodness and grace and may find most praise among parents looking for a name of pious nature. Those who live and breathe Germanic legend can also delight in Engelbert as a derivative of the name Ing, borne by the god of fertility and growth. If baby is your blessing from above, there’s no better way to celebrate than with Engelbert.
