Imbyrt is in Origin.

Imbyrt is a modern revival shaped to look Old English, built on Germanic name elements meaning “bright” and “illustrious.” The second element reflects Old English byrht/byrt “bright” (cognate with the -bert in Albert or Gilbert), while the initial Im- most plausibly continues Irmin/Ermin “great, universal.” Together the sense is “great-bright” or “universally illustrious.” As a form, Imbyrt parallels the medieval given name Imbert, whose first element was likewise reduced from Irmin-.

In historical use, Imbert appears in 11th–14th‑century records across Provence, Burgundy, and Norman England, often Latinized as Imbertus; related regional forms include Italian Imberto and Dutch Imbrecht/Imbrechts. Imbyrt itself is a rare contemporary respelling that echoes Old English aesthetics (compare Eadbyrt/Eadberht, Æthelbyrht/Æthelberht). Usable variants and relatives include Imbert, Imberto, Imbrecht, and the feminine Imberta/Imberte (very uncommon). Short forms might be Im, Immy, Bert, or Berty. Meaning: “great and bright; illustrious.”
