Tolbert: French and English (of Norman origin): from
a Continental Germanic personal name composed of a first element of uncertain meaning + berht ‘bright’,
‘famous’. Genelogical searches showed most Tolbert's are from England
and Ireland ( not a very Irish name). However, The name is considered English, and most historical searches show the
sir name Tolbert to be likely from Talbert, which is a common British last name. A visit to Ellis Island revealed that
it was common for the person receiving the immigrant to mis-spell a name, based on how they heard the person speak.
Interesting facts about the Tolbert name: Most people with our last name were farmers until the 1900's. Most Civil War soldiers
with the last name Tolbert fought for the Confederates, although it was only a 60/40 split. And, most Tolbert's
settled in the southeast, east and northeast of the United States.
