Albert

Albert is a Germanic-origin masculine name, from the Old High German Adalbert, composed of adal (noble) and beraht (bright), meaning 'nobly bright' or 'bright nobility.' It was widely popular among European royalty and carries a distinguished, intellectual air.

Albert is a name with genuine gravitas — it is the name of kings, scientists, and Nobel Prize winners. Albert Einstein, Prince Albert, King Albert of Belgium: the name has a long tradition of being attached to people who matter. As a pet name, that contrast with the humble, daily reality of a dog or cat is part of the charm. There is something inherently wonderful about a very serious name on a creature whose main occupation is napping. Albert suits dignified pets who take themselves seriously even when they probably should not.
