Adelberht is a Continental West Germanic compound from adel/adal "noble" and berht "bright, illustrious," yielding the sense "nobly bright" or "illustrious noble." The form appears in early medieval records as Adelberht or Adalberht, with Latinized spellings Adelbertus/Adalbertus. It stands alongside the Old English cognate Æthelberht (Aethelberht/Ethelbert), built from the same elements.

Usage centered in Frankish and Bavarian lands and the wider Holy Roman Empire, borne by bishops and saints; notable cognates include Saint Adalbert (of Prague) and Adalbert of Magdeburg. Variants and derivatives span Adalbert, Adelbert, Albert (contracted), Adalberto (Italian/Spanish/Portuguese), Albertus (Latin/Dutch), and English Ethelbert; modern short forms include Bert, Al, and Del. Feminines are Adalberta and Alberta. In Slavic contexts the name is linked by cult to Polish Wojciech, though the etymology differs. Today Adelberht is rare and feels archaic or revivalist.
