Meaning & origin
Roberth is a rare modern spelling variant of the classic name Robert. First recorded in U.S. birth data in 1992, it has seen a slow but steady rise in usage, particularly since 2012. In 2025, it ranked 5,861st with a frequency of 1 in 113,872 boys. Its peak year so far was 2023, suggesting a small but growing niche appeal. Unlike the standard Robert, which has been a top-tier name for centuries, Roberth remains uncommon, with no strong regional concentration. The name offers a distinctive twist on a traditional favorite, appealing to parents who want familiarity with a touch of individuality.
Roberth is a variant spelling of Robert, derived from the Old High German Hrodebert, composed of 'hrod' (fame) and 'beraht' (bright). The name was introduced to England by the Normans and became one of the most common given names in the English-speaking world. Its popularity has waned since the mid-20th century, but the spelling 'Roberth' remains a rare modern variant, first recorded in the U.S. in 1992.
