Landbert is in Origin.

Landbert is a rare West Germanic given name built from land 'territory, homeland' and berht 'bright, famous,' conveying the sense of "illustrious across the land." It stands behind the more familiar Lambert and is attested in early medieval Frankish and Old High German sources, sometimes written Landberht or Latinized as Lambertus. Though occasionally glossed as "bright land," Germanic two-element names typically describe a person, so the meaning implies renown spanning one's domain.

Usage peaked in the early Middle Ages, especially in the Low Countries and Rhineland, aided by the cult of Saint Lambert of Maastricht (7th century). After the Norman Conquest, the Lambert form settled into English and French, while Landbert receded to charters and regional spellings. Variants and cognates include Lambert (EN/FR/DE), Lammert and Lambertus (Dutch), Lamberto (Italian/Spanish), Lambert (Polish), and feminine forms Lamberta and Lambertine. Short forms include Bert.
