Rupert or Ruppert is an English truncation of Latin Rupertus, which derives from
Old High GermanHruodoperht/Hruodoberht ('p' and 'b' are the voiceless and voiced cognates of the same consonant); which is also the source of the name
Robert. Thus, "Rupert" and "Robert" are different modern forms of the same name. The Old High German form of the name evolved from
Germanic Hrothi, "fame, glory, renown, honour, godlike"[1] + Berht, "bright"; thus, Rupert and Robert mean "fame bright".
