Where did the French Ober family come from? What is the French Ober family crest and coat of arms? When did the Ober family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the Ober family history?

The prominent surname Ober originated in France, a country which has been a dominant presence in world affairs for centuries. The earliest forms of hereditary surnames in France were the patronymic surnames, which are derived from the father's given name, and metronymic surnames, which are derived from the mother's given name. The patronyms were derived from a variety of given names that were of many different origins. As well as the names of the saints of the Christian Church, many of the most common French surnames are derived from personal names of Germanic origin. They derive from the language of the Franks, who controlled France between the mid-5th and early 8th centuries. The name Ober is derived from the Old German given name Alberic. Looking back even further, we found the name was originally derived from the Latin word Albericus.
