Probert

Probert is a Welsh surname derived from "Ap Robert" the English translation being: Son of Robert!

Or so I'd always believed but I've been informed by Matt Probert of probertencyclopaedia.com that this might not be the case:

"Recently discovered that we Probert's have our own tartan, and coat of arms. Also, that our name derives not quite from 'ap Robert' (as I'd always been led to believe) but actually from 'ap Robat' which is the Welsh, (Robert being the English version of the Welsh Robat)."

If you have any further information on this subject please drop me a line and let me know.
