I've read that "Robert" means "shining [in] honor"...I'm not able to confirm this, though, so I don't know if I should add that. --83.177.107.217 12:59, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

Does anyone know how the name Robert became associated with Bob? Jdotpitts 07:19, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

I have removed material which violates copyright of behindthename.com. See [[[1]]].

"Though it may say Rome, berlin, and tokyo, ancient phiolosophers believe this to be a load of crap." <--- Someone better than me at wikipedia can remove that? It's not there on the edit page?

[edit] Sources

I am not being difficult for the sake of it, but in the "Origins" section, all the other versions are sourced, and the Proto-Germanic form should be too. HeartofaDog 00:21, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

I researched it and found it being the origins of "farmer" in old german. Can someone cite this for me???? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.82.95.180 (talk) 08:19, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
