Word Origin & Etymology

Named in the mid-19th century after Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, the husband and consort of Queen Victoria, who popularized the style of wearing a pocket watch secured by a crossbar chain. The personal name itself derives from Old High German Adalberaht, combining 'adal' (noble) and 'beraht' (bright).
