2347 /thlÃ­psis (compression, tribulation) carries the challenge of coping with the internal pressure of a tribulation, especially when feeling there is no way of escape (hemmed in). [By contrast, 4730 (stenoxÅrÃ­a) focuses on the external pressure exerted by circumstances.]
English, French, Dutch, and German: from a Germanic personal name composed of the elements land âlandâ, âterritoryâ + berht âbrightâ, âfamousâ. In England, the native Old English form Landbeorht was replaced by Lambert, the Continental form of the name that was taken to England by the Normans from France.
Recorded in over forty spelling forms from Lambert, Lambard and Limprecht, to Lambrich, Lambertini and Lemmens, this surname is almost certainly of very early German origins. As a surname it started life in the 12th century, but the derivation is from a pre 5th century personal name.
