Re: Origin of the Surname Hüber

In Reply to: Origin of the Surname Hüber by Wilbert Morell III	of 1667

Hi Wilbert,

in deed you are right that today Huber and Hüber is written and pronounced differently in Germany.
But in earlier centuries (around year 1600) I can tell you that it is usual also to use "Hüber" instead of Huber in written form. Interesting is that in other documents, the same persons can be found as "Huber".
Therefore both have the same origin, but only different spellings. the reason for this could be easily explained by the fact that the writer only wrote what he heard (or better understood).

Hope this helps,
Matthias
