Herbert
Old-fashioned male name
Herbert is a traditional male given name of Germanic origin, now somewhat old-fashioned in English-speaking countries.
It peaked in popularity in the early twentieth century: Uncle Herbert never married.
The name occasionally appears as a surname.
Its dated quality gives it a slightly formal or stuffy connotation in contemporary use.
