Answer 2

Hey Eric B,

Be careful of family crest sites, they like to sell family crests, without regard to the truth. Sometimes there are multiple origins to a name. I included some Talbert Family sites where others interested in the same family are working together. And gave some of the common research sites.

I found the following at the first web site.

The name Talbert reached English shores for the first time with the
ancestors of the Talbert family as they migrated following the
Norman Conquest of 1066. The name Talbert is based on the
Germanic personal name Talabert, meaning bright valley.
Spelling variations include: Talbot, Talbott, Talbut, Talbart, Talbert
and many more.
First found in Shropshire where they were seated from early times.
Some of the first settlers of this name or some of its variants were:
George Talbot settled in Trinity, Newfoundland, in 1675; John Talbot
settled in St. Pierre, Newfoundland in 1714; Christopher Talbot
settled in New England in 1663.
Motto Translated: Ready to accomplish.

Answer 3

Talbert: French and English (Norman) Originally Tolbert. From a Germanic given name Tol, and berht(famous, bright).

Talbot is not from this name, meaning tal(destroy) + bad(message, tidings), thus messenger of detruction, also of Germanic origins taken in Norman English.
