This surname has Anglo-Saxon pre-8th century origins; spelling variations include Albert, Albertson and Alberts in English names. It is derived from the Old German compound 'Aedelbeort' meaning 'noble-bright'.
However, many sources show it as a
French language surname, with many spelling variations on the French form.
It is now found in many locations of the world, spread by
French Huguenot refugees, amongst others.
