Hubert comes from the Old German *Hugubert*, a combination of *hug* (mind, spirit) and *beraht* (bright), so it means “bright-minded” or “bright heart.” The name is forever linked to Saint Hubert, the eighth-century patron saint of hunters, whose story of a miraculous stag inspired a lasting emblem. In more recent times, Hubert H. Humphrey served as US Vice President under Lyndon B. Johnson, while jazz flautist Hubert Laws brought a cool elegance to the name. Several places bear the saint’s name, including Saint-Hubert in Quebec, Canada, and a district in Brussels. A refined variant
