Lambertine

Meaning

The excerpts gloss Lambertine as meaning “country’s brightness.” They also explain it as a so-called name of locality, with the first syllable meaning “land,” and note that it was transplanted from Italy into German use. The underlying formation is tied to a place-name style meaning rather than a modern everyday word name.

Origin

Fun fact

The 1913 source says it was used by only a few girls outside the Fatherland, which makes it sound very uncommon even in its own time.
