Ilburt is in Origin.

Ilburt is a rare English given name, most plausibly a modern respelling of Ilbert, the Norman-era form of the Old Germanic Hildebert. The underlying elements are hild "battle, strife" and berht "bright, famed," yielding the sense "battle-bright" or "famous in battle." The inserted u likely shows influence from Burt, a long-standing English short form and surname related to the same Germanic root berht ("bright").

Ilbert is attested in medieval England and Normandy, borne for example by Ilbert de Lacy, 11th-century lord of Pontefract, while Ilburt appears only sporadically in later records as a stylistic variant. Usage today is extremely uncommon, giving the name a distinctive, archaic flavor. Related forms and cognates include Ilbert, Hilbert, Gilbert, Albert, and Elbert; short forms Burt and Bert are natural nicknames. Possible feminine counterparts are Elberta or Alberta.
