Adelberto

Adelberto is a masculine given name used in Spanish- and Portuguese-speaking communities and, less commonly, in Italian contexts as a variant of Adalberto. It derives from the Germanic given name Adalbertus, with elements adal meaning noble and beraht meaning bright, together interpreted as "noble and bright." The form Adelberto reflects Iberian phonology, while Adalberto is more common in Spanish- and Portuguese-speaking regions.

Historically, the name is associated with Saint Adalbert (San Adalberto) of Prague, a 10th-century missionary. The saint's prominence in Catholic Europe and the Americas contributed to the spread and enduring usage of the name in Christian communities.

In contemporary use, Adelberto remains an occasional choice in Portuguese-speaking countries, and in communities with Italian or Catholic heritage. It is less common in modern English-speaking countries and varies in popularity by region and era.
