Cubert is Cornish, English in Origin.

Cubert is a rare English given name with Cornish associations. It is most often explained as a streamlined variant of Cuthbert, from Old English Cuthbeorht (cuth ‘known, renowned’ + beorht ‘bright’), yielding the sense ‘brightly famous’ or ‘renowned brightness’. In Cornwall the name is also tied to the parish of Cubert, traditionally said to honor a Celtic missionary saint (sometimes equated with St Cuby), giving the name a regional, hagiographic layer.

As a personal name, Cubert has been extremely uncommon, appearing sporadically in Britain since the 19th century and, more recently, as a quirky modern pick (notably in Futurama). Variant forms include Cuthbert and the rare Cubbert; related -bert names include Hubert, Gilbert, and Robert. Possible short forms are Cub, Bert, or Bertie. The name’s blend of Anglo-Saxon meaning and Cornish saintly heritage makes it an offbeat choice with deep roots.
