Hulbart is Germanic in Origin.

Hulbart is a rare Germanic-derived given name, most plausibly a dialectal or scribal variant of Hubert/Hulbert. Its roots trace to the Proto-Germanic elements hug- “heart, mind, spirit” and berht “bright, famous,” yielding the sense “bright-minded” or “bright spirit.” The -bart ending reflects historical spelling fluctuation - especially in Low German and Middle English contexts - where -bert and -bart sometimes interchanged under the influence of names like Egbert and surnames ending in -bart.

The name appears sporadically in late medieval and early modern English parish records, more often as a surname form that later migrated into given-name use in Britain and colonial North America. Modern usage is extremely uncommon. Related variants include Hulbert, Hulburt, Halbert, Holbert, and the mainstream Hubert (French Hubart also occurs). Possible short forms are Bert, Bart, and Hal. Hulbart thus carries an old-world Germanic meaning within a highly distinctive, archival spelling.
