Roberts Genealogy & Family TreeRoberts is an English name first found in Kent, England, where the earliest Roberts ancestor—Willelmum filius Roberti—was listed in the Domesday Book in the 11th Century. It comes from the given name Robert, which is composed of the Old German words hrod and behrt, meaning “fame” and “bright.” Roots of this name are also found in Wales, Germany, and Ireland. It is the sixth most common surname in Wales and the 45th most common in the United States. The family motto is “Deo adjuvante, fortuna sequatur” or “With God assisting, good fortune may follow.”
Other spellings include “Robarts,” “Robaits,” “Ropartz,” “Robberts,” “Ropert,” “Ruppert,” “Robins,” and “Robberds.” Notable people with the surname include American actress Julia Roberts (Pretty Woman, Erin Brockovich, Notting Hill), American actress Emma Roberts (Nancy Drew, Valentine’s Day, American Horror Story), and Barbara Millicent Roberts (better known as the popular children’s and collectors’ doll “Barbie”). The first Roberts to come to America was Elias Roberts in Virginia in 1624.
