Robertus is in Origin.
Robertus is the Latinized form of the Germanic name Robert, from Hrōðiberht/Hrodebert (hrōð “fame, renown” + berht “bright, shining”), yielding the meaning “bright fame” or “famed brightness.” Entering Latin through ecclesiastical and administrative usage, Robertus appears widely in medieval charters, hagiographies, and university records after the Norman transmission of Robert across Western Europe.
In learned contexts the form Robertus designated clerics and scholars - e.g., Sanctus Robertus de Molesme, founder of the Cistercians; Robertus Grosseteste, Bishop of Lincoln; and, later, the Jesuit theologian Robertus Bellarminus. Parallel medieval spellings include Rotbertus; cognate forms include Rupertus (source of English/German Rupert). Vernacular variants are Robert (English, French, German, Polish, Scandinavian), Roberto (Italian, Spanish, Portuguese), Robrecht/Robbert (Dutch), Ruprecht (German), Ruperto (Spanish), and Irish Roibeárd. Diminutives and derivatives include Robin, Rob, Robbie, Bob, Bobby, and the feminine Roberta.
