About Egbert
Egbert still suffers somewhat from being used as a stereotypical name for nerds and aristocrats. It would be a surprising choice, but with its edgy meaning and dusty charm, possibly it's so beyond cool that it's...actually kind of cool?
As of October 2026, Egbert ranked #8331 in US births in 2017 SSA, peaked at #469 in 1880.
Editor's take: The name Egbert is a boy's name of Anglo-Saxon origin meaning "bright edge of a sword".
