A famous bearer of this name would be English inventor Hubert Cecil Booth (4 July 1871 – 14 January 1955) was an English engineer best known today for having invented one of the first powered vacuum cleaners. I would also like to add I really like the name Hubert, it’s traditional yet rare today and I love its meaning.

This is a handsome vintage name, with a wonderful meaning. It would make a refreshing alternative to Hugh and Hugo, both of which are strong, attractive names in themselves. Hugh, Bert and Bertie are nickname options.

I was very surprised to see this still in use in the UK. It's not the best, but I'd rather meet a boy named Hubert than another one of those overused modern names.

Hubert is actually a short form of Hugbert, which in itself is a short form of the original form, Hugubert (and its younger form Hugobert).

It's a very old-fashioned name, and it's good to remember that most names have positive meanings. That's not a reason to use them on your children. There are also good names with negative meanings. Don't focus too much on the meanings. You're not superstitious, right? I would laugh myself to the point of running out of oxygen and bursting a vein in my head if I heard a parent call out the name of their little boy and it was Hubert. I hate Hugh and Bert, and this is like a terrible sound combo of both ugly names.
