'Albrecht' originates from Old High German, specifically the word 'Adalberaht,' where 'adal' meant 'noble' and 'beraht' meant 'bright.'

'Adalberaht' transformed into the Middle High German word 'Albrecht,' and eventually became the modern German name 'Albrecht.'

Initially, it meant 'noble and bright,' and this meaning has largely remained the same in modern usage.
