User-submitted Reference

Huber is the most common surname in Austria and very common in Southern Germany. It derives from the word, hube, an outdated square measure with regionally different extent, dependent on the richness of soil and regional climate. A hube was an acreage that could sustain and be worked by one farmers family. The name Huber designates the farmer who owned a "hube".

- martintr

The last name, Hoover, may also be a derived from Huber as Austrian/German immigrants travelled to the new world. The English officers did not understand their accents and thus "English-ized" the name. One of the reasons the surname "Hoover" is more prevalent in North America and yet fairly common.
