Greetings from the Academy of Saint Gabriel!
You asked if we could find a Gaelic form of "Albert" appropriate to your 14th century persona. Here's what we've found.
The name "Albert" was used occasionally in Scots naming, but it was certainly not common and we found no evidence that it penetrated into Gaelic-speaking society. The latinized form "Albertus" is recorded in Perth and Dundee in the 13th century [1], and the 17th & 18th century surnames "Halbert" and "Halbertson" probably derives from "Albert" [1, 2].
It would be reasonable to use "Albert" in a Scots name of your period, e.g. "Elizabet Albert". We recommend that you not combine "Albert" with the Gaelic name "Ealusaid".
I hope this letter has been helpful. Tangwystyl ferch Morgant Glasfryn contributed research for this letter.
For the Academy,
Arval Benicoeur
