Roberts is a surname of Norman origin, deriving from the Norman given name Robert, meaning "bright renown" – from the Germanic elements "hrod" meaning renown and "beraht" meaning bright. Roberts may mean either "servant of Robert" or "son of Robert"; the latter is more common in Wales, while the former is more common in England.〔Gormley, Myra Vanderpool. 2007.

Baltimore, MD: Penguin Books, 1967. No ISBN.〕 Although the name Robert was known in the British isles before the Norman Conquest in 1066, it was mainly introduced into Britain by the Normans.〔Hanks, Patricia and Hodges, Flavia. 1990. ''A Dictionary of Surnames''. Oxford University Press, Oxford.〕 Today the surname Roberts is common in England, Ireland, Wales and the Isle of Man, with the biggest concentration by far occurring in North Wales. In colloquial North-Walian Welsh "Roberts" is often pronounced as "Robaits". The name is also common in Scotland. ==People== *Andrew Roberts (disambiguation), multiple people *Bip Roberts (born 1963), American baseball player * Buddy Roberts (1947–2012), ring name of Canadian-born American professional wrestler Dale Hey *Craig Roberts (born 1991), British actor *David Roberts (disambiguation), multiple people *Emma Roberts (born 1991), American actress *Eric Roberts (born 1956), American actor *Frederick Roberts, 1st Earl Roberts (1832–1914), British soldier *Jake "The Snake" Roberts (born 1955), ring name of American professional wrestler Aurelian Smith, Jr. *Jamie Roberts (born 1986), Welsh rugby player *John Glover Roberts, Jr. (born 1955), current Chief Justice of the United States *Julia Roberts (born 1967), American actress *Kurt Roberts (born 1988), American shot putter *Meade Roberts (1930-1992), American screenwriter *Michael Roberts (disambiguation), multiple people *Nora Roberts (born 1950), American bestselling author of more than 209 romance novels *Pat Roberts, (born 1936), US senator from Kansas *Pernell Roberts Jr. (1928–2010), American actor *Tanya Roberts (born 1955), American actress *Terrell Roberts (born 1981), American football player *Tommy Ed Roberts (1940–2014), American politician and businessman 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Roberts (surname)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
