Robert Origin and Meaning
The name Robert is a girl's name meaning "bright fame".
It can be a challenge for a girl to wear a masculine long-standing classic like Robert. (However, James has done pretty well for itself). A very small number of baby girls named Robert are recorded every year, although it's hard to say how many are the result of clerical error.
