Ingelbyrt is in Origin.

Ingelbyrt fuses the Germanic elements Ingil/Engil and -byrt, an archaic spelling of Old English byrht/beorht “bright, famous.” The first element points either to Ing/Yngvi, the proto-Germanic deity and eponym of the Ingvaeones, or (in later folk-etymology) to “angel” via OHG engil. Meaning settles around “Ing’s bright one” or “bright angel/famous for brightness,” with the -bert/-berht family of names as close kin.

Forms of the name were well used in the early Middle Ages: Carolingian courtier and saint Angilbert (c. 741–814), numerous Frankish and Low Countries Ingelberts, and the martyred Archbishop Engelbert of Cologne (1165–1225) helped maintain its currency. Ingelbyrt represents an antiquarian English-style spelling; common variants include Ingelbert, Ingilbert, Angilbert, Engelbert, Inglebert, and Latinized Ingelbertus/Engelbertus. Related nicknames are Bert and Ingo. Rare today, it carries a distinctively medieval, pan-Germanic aura.
