The history of the last name Daubert

The surname Daubert has its origins in Germany, with the earliest records dating back to the 12th century. It is believed to have derived from the Old German word "dau," which means "dew," and "bert," a common ending for German surnames signifying "bright" or "famous." The name may have initially referred to someone who lived near a dewy meadow or field.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the name Daubert can be found in the Codex Diplomaticus, a collection of historical documents from the Rhine region, where it appears as "Dauberti" in 1189. In the 13th century, the name was also documented in various medieval records from the regions of Swabia and Franconia.

The Daubert family is thought to have originated in the town of Dauborn, located in the modern-day German state of Hesse. The town's name itself is derived from the Old German words "dau" and "born," meaning "dew spring," suggesting a connection between the place and the surname.

In the 14th century, a man named Heinrich Daubert was mentioned in the court records of the city of Mainz, indicating the presence of the family in that region during that time period. Another notable figure was Konrad Daubert, a prominent merchant and landowner who lived in the town of Rothenburg ob der Tauber in the 15th century.

During the 16th century, the name Daubert appeared in various records across Germany, including the birth of Hans Daubert in Nuremberg in 1527. In the 17th century, Andreas Daubert, a Lutheran theologian and author, was born in Saxony in 1633 and later became a professor at the University of Leipzig.

In the 18th century, Johann Daubert, a German composer and organist, was born in Nuremberg in 1762. He is known for his contributions to church music and organ compositions.

The 19th century saw the birth of Carl Daubert, a German painter and illustrator, who was born in Nuremberg in 1842. His works often depicted scenes from German folklore and rural life.

As the Daubert family spread throughout Germany and beyond, the spelling of the name varied slightly, with variations such as Dauberth, Dauberte, and Dauberty appearing in historical records. However, the core meaning and origin of the name remained rooted in the German language and culture.
