The name Alberto arrived in Italy with the Lombards first and then with the Franks, it derives from the name Adalberto which originates from two Germanic words athala (nobility) and berth (splendor), that is to say one of noble lineage, of splendid nobility. The name, by imitation, was given, in medieval times, to children as an index of nobility and then as a simple wish. The surnames, although distributed throughout the peninsula, have a greater concentration in the north, where the influence of the Lombards first and the Franks later was greater.
