Latinized as Humbertus, the name traveled widely across medieval Europe.

Usage is well documented among Frankish and Burgundian nobles and churchmen, including Cardinal Humbert of Silva Candida (11th century) and Humbert of Romans, fifth Master of the Dominicans. It features prominently in the House of Savoy, later inspiring the Italian royal name Umberto.
