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

The old German family name Niebuhr is derived from several possible sources, and no doubt different families of this name emerged independently during the era in which surnames first began to be used. The Low German word 'nabur' meant "neighbor," and then came to be used as a surname. There was also a place named Nabern near Kustrin, a river so named in Wurtemburg, as well as a St. Nabor in the Alsace region.
