Meaning and history
Lambert is derived from the Old German elements lant, meaning “land,” and beraht, meaning “bright.” The name was borne by Saint Lambert of Maastricht, a 7th-century bishop martyred after denouncing Pepin II for adultery, and by a 9th-century king of Italy who was crowned Holy Roman Emperor.
