Lambrecht

Lambrecht is a Germanic given name originally meaning "famous in his land" (literally: "land-bright"). It became popular due to Saint Lambrecht of Maastricht (c.636 - c.700). Until after the Middle Ages it was more common in the Low countries than the Latinized equivalent name Lambert (us).
