What is the meaning of the name Heberto ?

The baby name Heberto is a Male name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced eh-BER-toh (Spanish: /eˈβeɾto/ or /eˈberto/),he-BER-toh (English: /həˈbɛrtoʊ/).

Heberto is Germanic, Portuguese in Origin.

Heberto is a Spanish given name, a streamlined form of Heriberto/Herberto, ultimately from the Germanic Heribertus. It fuses the elements heri or hari “army” and beraht or berht “bright, famous,” yielding senses such as “illustrious warrior” or “army-bright.” The clipped shape likely developed by analogy with other -berto names (Alberto, Roberto) and through 20th-century phonetic simplification.

Use is centered in Latin America - especially Mexico, Cuba, and parts of Central America - while remaining uncommon in Spain; in Portuguese, the closer form is Herberto. Related variants and cognates include Heriberto, Herberto, Herbert (English), and Heribert (German). Common nicknames are Berto and Beto. Notable bearers are the Cuban poet Heberto Padilla and Mexican engineer–politician Heberto Castillo. The name shares the name-day tradition of St. Heribert of Cologne on March 16.
