Egert is Germanic in Origin.
Egert is a masculine given name used chiefly in Estonia and sporadically across the Baltic and Germanic world. Its etymology is generally traced to the Germanic personal name Eckhard/Ekkehard, with the northern form Eggert providing the immediate model; the components are Old High German ekka "edge, point (of a sword)" and hart "strong, hardy," yielding the sense "strong at the blade" or "brave with the sword."
The name appears in German-speaking records as both a given name and a surname (Eggert/Egert), and entered Estonian usage through centuries of Baltic German contact, seeing modest 20th-21st century revival alongside other short, crisp forms. While occasionally conflated with Egbert (Old English ecg "edge" + beorht "bright"), Egert is distinct in origin. Variants and cognates include Eggert (Danish, Icelandic, Low German) and Eckart/Eckhard/Ekkehard (German); the Estonian spelling Egert is standard locally. Possible Estonian diminutives include Egi. Related surnames share the same root.
