Origin
Meaning and origin of Cebuhar
The surname CEBUHAR is of Slavic origin, with roots tracing back to the Balkans region in the 14th century. It is believed to have originated in what is now modern-day Bulgaria or Macedonia. The name is derived from the Proto-Slavic word "cebu," which means "honor" or "respect," and the suffix "-har," which denotes a person associated with a particular trait or occupation.
One of the earliest known records of the CEBUHAR name can be found in a 15th-century manuscript from the Rila Monastery in Bulgaria. The document mentions a certain "Petar CEBUHAR," who was a respected member of the local community. This suggests that the name was already in use during that period and may have been associated with individuals of notable reputation or standing.
In the 16th century, the CEBUHAR name appears to have spread across the Balkan region, with records indicating the presence of families bearing this surname in areas such as Serbia, Croatia, and Bosnia. One notable figure from this era was Ivan CEBUHAR, a Serbian merchant and landowner who lived in the town of Novi Sad in the late 1500s.
As the centuries progressed, the CEBUHAR name continued to be found throughout the Balkans and Eastern Europe. In the 18th century, a Russian nobleman named Grigory CEBUHAR was known for his contributions to the development of the Russian Empire's military and diplomatic strategies.
Another significant figure bearing the CEBUHAR name was Marko CEBUHAR, a Bulgarian revolutionary who played a pivotal role in the struggles for independence from Ottoman rule in the late 19th century. He is remembered as a prominent figure in the Bulgarian National Revival movement.
In the 20th century, the CEBUHAR surname gained recognition through the work of Nadezhda CEBUHAR, a renowned Bulgarian poet and writer whose works explored themes of love, nature, and the human condition. She was born in 1912 and passed away in 1998, leaving behind a rich literary legacy.
While the CEBUHAR name may have evolved in spelling and pronunciation over the centuries, its roots and significance as a marker of respect and honor have endured across various regions and cultures within the Slavic world.

The Census Bureau groups responses into six broad categories: White, Black or African American, Hispanic or Latino, Asian and Pacific Islander, American Indian and Alaska Native, and Two or More Races. When a category has too few respondents for a given surname, the Bureau suppresses the figure to protect individual privacy, which is why some names show fewer than six slices.
Percentages are shown for every Census year so the breakdown stays comparable over time. When the source file also includes raw headcounts, Name Census shows those alongside the percentages in the legend.
Keep in mind that these are self-reported numbers. A person's surname does not determine their race or ethnicity, and the distribution you see here reflects the specific population who happened to carry the Cebuhar surname at the time of the 2020 Census, not any inherent property of the name itself.

Does the Census include every surname?

There are two main reasons: rounding and suppression. The Census Bureau rounds published values, and it may suppress very small cells to protect privacy.
