Egbert

(male) From an Old English personal name derived from ecg ‘edge (of a sword)’ + beorht ‘bright, famous’. This was borne by two English saints of the 8th century and by a 9th-century king of Wessex. It survived for a while after the Conquest, but fell out of use by the 14th century. It was briefly revived in the 19th century, but is now seldom used.
