The surname Gilbert has a rich history, particularly among those of Irish descent.

The name itself has its origins in the Old Germanic name "Giselbert," meaning "bright pledge" or "bright hostage." It was brought to Ireland by the Norman invaders in the 12th century.

These Normans, known as the "Anglo-Normans," were of mixed French and Viking ancestry. They established their presence in Ireland, mainly in the areas of Leinster, Munster, and Ulster.

Over time, the name Gilbert became anglicized as it merged with the Irish language and culture. This process resulted in variations such as MacGillibert, MacGilbert, and even Gilbride.

The Gilberts played significant roles in Irish history. Many of them were prominent landowners, knights, and soldiers. They participated in various conflicts and battles, including the Norman invasion of Ireland and the subsequent struggles for power on the island.

Today, the Gilbert surname can still be found among Irish families, both in Ireland and in diaspora communities around the world. It serves as a reminder of the complex history and cultural intermixing that has shaped the Emerald Isle.
