About the Project

The Lambert Name Study project serves as a collaborative platform to collect information on the Lambert name. The hope is that other researchers like you will join the study to help make it a valuable reference point for other genealogists who are researching or have an interest in the Lambert name.

As a One Name Study, this project is not limited to persons who are related biologically. Individual team studies could be used to branch out the research into specific methods and areas of interest, such as geographically (England Lamberts), by time period (18th Century Lamberts), or by topic (LambertE DNA, Lambert Occupations, Lambert Statistics). These studies may also include a number of family branches which have no immediate link with each other. Some researchers may even be motivated to go beyond the profile identification and research stage to compile fully sourced, single-family histories of some of the families they discover through this name study project.

Also see the related surnames and surname variants.

Note: if you have a particular interest in the Lambert surname in middle Tennessee and southern Illinois, please visit Space:Lambert Families of Tennessee & Southern Illinois.

Lambert Name Meaning
English, French, Dutch, and German: from a Germanic personal name composed of the elements land ‘land’, ‘territory’ + berht ‘bright’, ‘famous’. In England, the native Old English form Landbeorht was replaced by Lambert, the Continental form of the name that was taken to England by the Normans from France. The name gained wider currency in Britain in the Middle Ages with the immigration of weavers from Flanders, among whom St. Lambert or Lamprecht, bishop of Maastricht in around 700, was a popular cult figure. In Italy the name was popularized in the Middle Ages as a result of the fame of Lambert I and II, Dukes of Spoleto and Holy Roman Emperors."

Areas of Interest

Gallia County, Ohio
The 1850 census shows 7 Lamberts born in Virginia; some of the other Lamberts in the county are certainly related to them. Research needed to connect them.
The oldest is Persal Lambert, born in Virginia about 1785. More of his line needs to be added to WikiTree.

I have been searching for the parents of my 3rd Great Grandfathers parents for what seems forever his name (as undoubtedly was 100"s of others) John. I do know that he is buried in Burnsville Mississippi at O'Possum trot cemetery (formerly Lambert Cemetery) His gravestone says 1857 and born in 1770. but others have told me that he died in 1851? He lived in "Indian" territory in Tennessee before coming to Miss. (yellow Creek area) He Married Nancy Carpenter ( who I was told was a "half breed")? I was told just lately that his Father (also named John was wounded in the war of independence in about 1779? there are so many stories (none of them the same) he had at least 8 Children I have found most of their graves. supposedly the oldest William was born in North Carolina and maybe James Clyde was also. I had my DNA tested through Ancestry but have not found a link to anyone outside of America.

My Lambert line (from Frederick County, Maryland to York County, South Carolina to Gaston/Cleveland/Macon counties, North Carolina) at some point began going by first Lamberth and then Lambeth.
