In IRISH NAMES AND SURNAMES by Rev. Patrick Woulfe, member of the Council,
National Academy of Ireland, published by the Genealogical Publishing Company,
Baltimore, 1969, it includes this item:
“Colbárd - Colbert; (the Anglo-Saxon Colobert or Colbeorht) ; Colbert and Colibert
appear in the Domesday Book as the names of landholders in the time of Edward the
Confessor and of undertenants at the time of the survey, an indication that the name is
derived from the Anglo-Saxon and not from the Frankish cognate. In Ireland, the
Colberts are found chiefly in Cork and Limerick.”
It goes on to give the Irish form of the name, but I can’t find a font that looks like the Irish
alphabet.
