Etymology

The word 'filbert' has an interesting etymology that can be traced back to Middle English. It is believed to have originated from the Old French term 'felber' or 'philibert', which in turn may derive from the 'Philibert', a given name in medieval times. The association with the hazelnut is likely due to the nut's harvest coinciding with the feast day of St. Philibert, who is celebrated on August 20th. In terms of its botanical classification, the filbert is technically a type of hazelnut belonging to the Corylus avellana species, which has a long history of cultivation in Europe. The widespread use of this nut can be traced back to the Romans, who cultivated hazelnuts for their nutritional properties. Today, the filbert is mainly grown in regions with temperate climates, such as Oregon and Turkey, where it has become a staple ingredient in both local and international cuisines.
