[Facts] Re: What does the name Jobert mean?
QuoteI think I know it, Wikipedia even confirms it, but I'm still not sure of its meaning.
Which Wikipedia article confirms what you think you know? Is it the one listed below?https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jobert (in English)That said, I strongly doubt that Jobert is a variant of Job. Any French masculine name ending in -bert is usually fully of Germanic origin. In rare cases, such a name is only partially of Germanic origin - like with Floribert.A quick search through the available sources indicates that Jobert is a variant spelling of Jaubert (also found written as Joubert), which is a medieval French masculine name. It is no longer in use and only survives as a patronymic surname.Jaubert comes from the Germanic compound name Gautbert. An other French form of the name is Gaubert.Sources used:- Jaubert:

- Jobert:
https://www.filae.com/nom-de-famille/Jobert.html (in French; states the name comes from Engelbert (also Ingelbert), which seems doubtful to me)
