Hüfner Family Crest & Name History

Spellings drift, and Hüfner is where Hübner drifted for some families.

Name scholars give the meaning as “Holder of a Hube (farm holding)”. Only a small detail separates the spellings: Hüfner has “f” where Hübner has “b”. Spellings drifted because names were written down by ear in parish books, tax rolls and passenger lists. Related forms: Hibner and Hybner.
