Gilbert
Germanic masculine name
Gilbert is a traditional English given name for males, from Germanic roots meaning "bright pledge." It peaked in popularity in the early twentieth century and now sounds somewhat old-fashioned.
Gilbert also names the unit of magnetomotive force in the CGS system, after physicist William Gilbert.
Gilbert was my grandfather's name.
