Culbert
Culbert is a name that seems to have originated in Europe.
==Origins==
The surname Culbert may stem from Culbheart, which is said to be a Gaelic form of "crafty". Crafty is related to "wisdom," and this suggests a connection with the surname Cuthbert, a name of Old English origin, which means "known-bright".〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Online Etymology Dictionary )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Online Etymology Dictionary )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Cuthbert )〕 It is also believed that Culbert is derived from ''Cutbert'', and this earlier spelling is very similar to Cuthbert and Cuthbertson, one reason for the close relationship between these surnames.
MacLysaght〔Edward MacLysaght, 1999, The Surnames of Ireland, 6th Ed., Irish Academic Press, Dublin, Ireland and Portland, Oregon, USA〕 states that the surname Culbert is of Huguenot origin, and is found mainly in Ireland's northern province of Ulster. ''Culbrath'' is an eighteenth-century variant of Culbert in County Monaghan. Culbert families are known in Ireland since the 15th Century, especially in the province of Munster. In Scotland, Culbert is considered a variant of Colbert, derived from the Old English ''Ceolbeorht'', and found in County Fife according to Black.〔Dr. George F. Black, 1946, Surnames of Scotland: Their Origin, Meaning and History, New York Public Library, 12th printing, 1999, p. 190, ISBN 0-87104-172-3)〕
The surname is also closely related to Culbertson and Culberson, which mean son of Culbert.
