An Etymological Dictionary of Family and Christian Names (1857)

(origin: German.) All bright or famous; beort or bert, signifies famous, fair, and clear, bright; so Sebert and Ethelbert were sometimes written Se bright and Ethel bright. All, Eal, and Æl, in old English and Saxon compound names, have the same signification as the English All, as Al-dred, Al-win, etc.
