Meaning & Story
From the Germanic Filibert, meaning 'very bright' or 'exceedingly brilliant,' with a pleasantly old-fashioned ring.
Filbert is gloriously old-school — the kind of name that belonged to a distinguished gentleman and somehow ended up on the most lovable dog in the neighborhood. It has the warmth of a grandfather's name and the charm of something genuinely rare. A male dog named Filbert is probably a little eccentric, deeply affectionate, and impossible not to smile at. The name suits a fluffy, round-faced breed particularly well.
