Robertas is Germanic in Origin.

Robertas is a Lithuanian masculine given name, a cognate of English Robert; its form is shaped by the Lithuanian -as masculine ending. Ultimately it derives from the Proto-Germanic elements hrōþi- “fame” and berhta- “bright,” yielding the sense “bright fame” or “renowned brightness.” The name traveled across Europe through Frankish/Norman influence and Christian naming traditions, entered Lithuanian via contact with Polish and German cultures, and was standardized during the 19th–20th‑century national revival.

Usage in Lithuania has been steady, borne by figures such as basketball player Robertas Javtokas and sculptor Robertas Antinis. International variants include Robert (English, French), Róbert (Hungarian, Slovak), Roberto (Italian, Spanish, Portuguese), Robrecht (Dutch/Flemish), Rupert (German), and Ruperto (Spanish). The feminine counterpart is Roberta. Common short forms are Rob, Robbie, Bob/Bobby, and Bert; Lithuanian diminutives follow the -ukas pattern, e.g., Robertukas. The name conveys a classic, pan-European feel while remaining distinctly Lithuanian in form.
