The history of the last name Shubrick

The surname SHUBRICK is believed to have originated in Germany, likely in the 16th or 17th century. It is thought to be derived from an old German word or phrase, possibly related to a place name or occupation. However, the exact origins and meaning of the name are uncertain.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the SHUBRICK surname can be found in historical records from the city of Nuremberg in Bavaria, Germany. A document from the late 16th century mentions a "Johannes Shubrick" who was a merchant in the city.

In the 17th century, there are records of a family with the SHUBRICK name living in the town of Rothenburg ob der Tauber, also in Bavaria. This suggests that the name may have been more prevalent in this region of southern Germany during that time period.

As the SHUBRICK family likely originated in Germany, it's possible that the name is derived from an old German place name or location. Some linguists have speculated that it may be related to the word "Schubrig," meaning "shaggy" or "unkempt," potentially referring to a physical characteristic or occupation.

One notable individual with the SHUBRICK surname was John Templar Shubrick (1690-1757), a British naval officer who served in the Royal Navy during the early 18th century. He was born in South Carolina but his family's roots can be traced back to Germany.

Another significant figure was William Branford Shubrick (1790-1874), an American naval officer who served in the War of 1812 and the Mexican-American War. He was born in South Carolina and descended from the German SHUBRICK family that had settled in the American colonies.

Edward Ridgely Shubrick (1828-1898) was a United States Navy officer who fought in the American Civil War, serving as a captain in the Union Navy. He was born in Virginia and was a member of the prominent SHUBRICK family of the southern United States.

Robert Wilson Shubrick (1785-1849) was a United States Navy officer and sailor who served during the War of 1812 and the Barbary Wars. He was born in Maryland and was also part of the SHUBRICK family that had settled in the American colonies.
