Origin Displayed: English

Where did the English Hilbert family come from? What is the English coat of arms/family crest? When did the Hilbert family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the history of the family name?

Hilbert is one of the many new names that came to England following the Norman Conquest of 1066. The Hilbert family lived in Dorset, at the manor of Ilberton, from where they took their name.

Norman surnames are characterized by a multitude of spelling variations. The frequent changes in surnames are largely due to the fact that the Old and Middle English languages lacked definite spelling rules. The introduction of Norman French to England, as well as the official court languages of Latin and French, also had pronounced influences on the spelling of surnames. Since medieval scribes and church officials recorded names as they sounded, rather than adhering to any specific spelling rules, it was common to find the same individual referred to with different spellings. The name has been spelled Illbert, Ilbert, Ibbert and others.

First found in Dorset where they were anciently Lords of the manor of Iberton in that shire, after the Norman Conquest by William the Conqueror in 1066 A.D.

Many English families emigrated to North American colonies in order to escape the political chaos in Britain at this time. Unfortunately, many English families made the trip to the New World under extremely harsh conditions. Overcrowding on the ships caused the majority of the immigrants to arrive diseased, famished, and destitute from the long journey across the stormy Atlantic. Despite these hardships, many of the families prospered and went on to make invaluable contributions to the development of the cultures of the United States and Canada. Early North American immigration records have revealed a number of people bearing the name Hilbert or a variant listed above: Charles Ibbert who landed in America in 1771.
