HUBER | UBER

Huber is a typical surname of Alto Adige, Uber instead is the specific form of Trento, could derive from the Germanic name Hubert (Uberto). additions provided by Giovanni Vezzelli Huber is a German surname also present in South Tyrol. It is a name that originated in the agricultural environment but does not define the position of the property but its size. In fact it comes from 'Hube', in modern German 'Hufe' = 'part of the common ground that belonged to the farmer according to the needs of his family'. A 'Hube' comprised about thirty 'Morgen', a unit of measurement determined by the terrain that a pair of oxen wore in a morning. However this unit of measurement varied from region to region: p. es. the Prussian 'Morgen' was 2553 square meters, the Bavarian one of 3407. The 'Hube' was the most frequent model of a farm in southern Germany, as evidenced by the widespread use of the surname Huber, which after the 1970 census was at 26th place nationally with 75,000 occurrences and 42nd after German reunification.
