Engelberta

Engelberta, the feminine form of Engelbert, is a German name with various interpretations. Its roots trace back to the Old High German name "Engilbert," composed of the elements "anguz" (narrow, tight) and "berhtaz" (light, bright, clear). In one interpretation, "anguz" is associated with "engel" (angel), giving the name the meaning of "bright angel", "famous angel", or "illustrious".

Another theory suggests that "anguz" represents "Angles", one of the Germanic peoples who settled in Britain after the Roman period. This connection implies the name's meaning as "belonging to the people of the Angles". Additionally, the first element may derive from the Old High German word "angul" (hook), giving the name a literal meaning such as "fishhook" or "hook for fishing".
