Joubert

/ʒuːˈbɛr/ noun

Definition

A surname, sometimes used as a proper noun; not a standard English dictionary word with independent meaning.

Etymology

French surname derived from the name 'Jobert' or 'Hubert,' a Germanic name from 'Hugo' or 'Hugi' meaning 'mind' or 'thought,' plus 'berth' meaning 'bright.' It's primarily a family name rather than a common English word.

Kelly Says

Joubert is famous as a surname—like Joseph Joubert, the 18th-century French philosopher—but it's more interesting as a family name than as an English vocabulary word!
