One possible explanation for the name Ubinger is that it derives from a place name or a topographic feature, as was common with many German surnames. It may have evolved from the name of a town, village, or even a specific location, such as a hill or a river. The prefix "Ub-" could be linked to words like "Über" (meaning "over" or "above") or "Aue" (meaning "meadow" or "floodplain").

The earliest recorded instances of the surname Ubinger can be found in various historical documents and records from the late medieval period.

In the 18th century, there was a German philosopher and writer named Friedrich Ubinger (1710-1782), who wrote extensively on topics related to ethics and moral philosophy.

Moving into the 19th century, a notable figure was Karl Ubinger (1820-1892), a German architect and urban planner who was involved in the design and development of several cities in Germany, including Frankfurt and Berlin.
