A proper name, historically associated with King Egbert who ruled Wessex in the 9th century and was one of the first kings to control most of England.
Old English name composed of 'ecg' (edge or sword) and 'beorht' (bright), literally meaning 'bright sword.' Common in Anglo-Saxon nobility and immortalized through a prominent early English king.
King Egbert (775-839) conquered almost all of England at a time when the country was fractured into separate kingdoms—he's basically the reason 'England' exists as a concept, yet most modern people have never heard his name!
