Norberto

Norberto is a masculine given name of Germanic origin. It is derived from the elements "nord" meaning "north" and "berht" meaning "bright" or "famous." Thus, the name can be interpreted as "bright north" or "famous northerner."

The name is most common in Spanish and Portuguese-speaking countries, as well as in Italy. Its usage in English-speaking countries is less frequent.

The feast day for Saint Norbert of Xanten, a prominent 12th-century archbishop and founder of the Premonstratensian Order, is June 6th. The name Norberto is often associated with him, contributing to its popularity in Catholic regions.

Variants of the name include Norbert (English, German, Polish), Norberte (feminine form), and Norberth.
