Origin
Meaning and origin of Vybiral
The surname VYBIRAL is of Czech origin, originating in the region of Bohemia in the 14th century. It is derived from the Czech verb "vybírat," which means "to choose" or "to select." This suggests that the name was initially given to someone whose occupation involved selecting or choosing items, such as a tax collector, merchant, or overseer.
One of the earliest recorded instances of the name can be found in the Moravian Landtables, a register of land ownership in the region of Moravia (now part of the Czech Republic), dating back to the 15th century. The name appears as "Vybiral," with variations in spelling such as "Vybieral" and "Wibiral."
In the 16th century, the name VYBIRAL was associated with a noble family from the town of Náchod, located in the northeastern part of Bohemia. A prominent member of this family was Jan Vybiral (1520-1588), who served as a councilor to the Habsburg monarch Ferdinand I.
During the 17th century, the name VYBIRAL spread across various regions of the Czech lands, with several notable individuals bearing this surname. One such person was Matěj Vybiral (1630-1701), a Bohemian theologian and author who wrote extensively on religious topics.
In the 18th century, the VYBIRAL name gained recognition in the field of education. Václav Vybiral (1715-1788) was a respected teacher and author of educational texts, contributing significantly to the development of Czech pedagogy.
The 19th century saw the name VYBIRAL associated with the arts and literature. Josef Vybiral (1845-1912) was a renowned Czech sculptor, known for his monumental works and memorial statues throughout Bohemia and Moravia.
As the VYBIRAL surname spread across Europe, it also found its way to other regions, such as Germany and the United States, where it was adopted by immigrants from the Czech lands.
Throughout history, the VYBIRAL surname has been carried by several notable individuals, including the Czech composer Jiří Vybiral (1934-2007), the German author and translator Eva Vybiral (1928-2019), and the American baseball player Mike Vybiral (born 1965).

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 Vybiral surname at the time of the 2020 Census, not any inherent property of the name itself.
