The surname Herbert has ancient origins and is of Irish descent. It is derived from the Old Norse personal name "Hariberth" or "Heriberth," which means "bright army" or "army of warriors." The name was brought to Ireland by Norse invaders during the Viking Age.
Over time, the name Hariberth evolved into Herberth, and eventually Herbert. The Herberts settled in various parts of Ireland, particularly in the south and west regions. They became a prominent clan with their own territory and held positions of power and influence.
During the Norman invasion of Ireland in the 12th century, the Herberts aligned themselves with the Norman forces and played a significant role in the conquest of the country. They were granted large estates and became prominent Anglo-Norman settlers.
The Herberts continued to flourish in Ireland, and many of them held important positions within the English administration. They were known for their military prowess, land ownership, and involvement in local governance.
Today, the surname Herbert is still found in Ireland, although it is less common than in the past. Many descendants of the Herberts have spread across the world, particularly to countries such as the United States, Canada, and Australia, where they have contributed to the diverse global Irish diaspora.
