While the name Albert was exceptionally popular during the Victorian era, its usage declined significantly in the mid-twentieth century before seeing a modest revival in recent years.
From Old English Æþelbeorht, from Proto-West Germanic Aþalaberht, a compound of aþalaz (“noble”) + *berhtaz (“bright, famous”), or from Old French Albert, from Latin Albertus, itself from the Germanic name. Regardless of the exact route, it is a doublet of Ethelbert. It became popular in 19th-century England due to Queen Victoria’s consort, Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha.
As a proper noun, it is almost always capitalized.
