English, French, North German, Danish, Catalan, Hungarian, Czech, Slovak, Slovenian, etc. : from the personal name Albert, composed of the Germanic elements adal ‘noble’ + berht ‘bright’, ‘famous’. The standard German form is Albrecht. This, in its various forms, was one of the most popular of all European male personal names in the Middle Ages. It was borne by various churchmen, notably St. Albert of Prague, a Bohemian prince who died a martyr in 997 attempting to convert the Prussians to Christianity; also St. Albert the Great (?1193–1280), an Aristotelian theologian and tutor of Thomas Aquinas. It was also the name of princes and military leaders, such as Albert the Bear (1100–70), Margrave of Brandenburg. In more recent times it has been adopted as a Jewish family name.A bearer of the surname Albert, from Saintonge, France, was documented in Quebec city in 1664.

adv.
With power; potently.
n.
A peacemaker.
a.
Having the power of acting or of invisible efficacy without the agency of the material or sensible part; potential; energizing.
n.
The quality or state of being potential; possibility, not actuality; inherent capability or disposition, not actually exhibited.
n.
Figuratively: The potential or animating principle, also, the period of duration, of anything that is conceived of as resembling a natural organism in structure or functions; as, the life of a state, a machine, or a book; authority is the life of government.
a.
Existing in possibility, not in actuality.
n.
One who makes peace by reconciling parties that are at variance.
n.
In the theory of gravitation, or of other forces acting in space, a function of the rectangular coordinates which determine the position of a point, such that its differential coefficients with respect to the coordinates are equal to the components of the force at the point considered; -- also called potential function, or force function. It is called also Newtonian potential when the force is directed to a fixed center and is inversely as the square of the distance from the center.
adv.
In a potential manner; possibly, not positively.
n.
One who, or that which, makes a way or path.
n.
The potential principle, or force, by which the organs of animals and plants are started and continued in the performance of their several and cooperative functions; the vital force, whether regarded as physical or spiritual.
n.
One who, or that which, pacifies; a peacemaker.
n.
The energy of an electrical charge measured by its power to do work; hence, the degree of electrification as referred to some standard, as that of the earth; electro-motive force.
n.
An instrument for measuring or comparing electrial potentials or electro-motive forces.
n.
An instrument for measuring in volts the differences of potential between different points of an electrical circuit.
n.
The standard unit in the measure of electrical resistance, being the resistance of a circuit in which a potential difference of one volt produces a current of one ampere. As defined by the International Electrical Congress in 1893, and by United States Statute, it is a resistance substantially equal to 109 units of resistance of the C.G.S. system of electro-magnetic units, and is represented by the resistance offered to an unvarying electric current by a column of mercury at the temperature of melting ice 14.4521 grams in mass, of a constant cross-sectional area, and of the length of 106.3 centimeters. As thus defined it is called the international ohm.
a.
The quality in consequence of which an electric charge tends to discharge itself, as into the air by a spark, or to pass from a body of greater to one of less electrical potential. It varies as the quantity of electricity upon a given area.
n.
Potentiality; efficacy; potential existence.
n.
Electric potential or potential difference, expressed in volts.
n.
Anything that may be possible; a possibility; potentially.
