Philberti is Germanic in Origin.
Philberti is a learned, Latinized form of the medieval name Philibert, reflecting the genitive ending -i commonly seen in church and legal records (Philiberti, 'of Philibert'). The name ultimately descends from a Continental Germanic compound: filu 'much, very' + berht 'bright, famous', yielding the sense 'very bright' or 'much-renowned'. It was popularized in the 7th century by Saint Philibert of Jumieges, whose cult spread the name across Frankish and French-speaking regions, from which it entered Romance usage.
As a given name today, Philberti is rare and tends to appear in archival revivals or as an antiquarian choice. More common cognates include Philibert (French), Filiberto (Italian and Spanish), Filibert (Central European), and the English forms Philbert and Filbert; the latter also names the hazelnut via St. Philibert's feast day. Latin forms include Philibertus (nom.) and Philiberti (gen.). Possible diminutives and forms are Bert, Berto, and Filo; feminine counterparts are Philiberta/Filiberta.
