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

The name Shubert was born in the beautiful region of Bohemia, which is now part of Czechoslavakia. In the Middle Ages, many of the Bohemian were a part of the Holy Roman Empire, which was characterized by the Feudal System. Before this era, people were known only by a single name. However, as the population increased and travelers set out on their journeys, it became necessary for people to adopt a second name to identify themselves. Many people, such as the Shubert family, adopted the name of their feudal occupation as their surname. However, an occupational name did not become a hereditary surname until the office or type of employment became hereditary. The surname Shubert was an occupational name for a cobbler. Ancient records reveal the name Shubert is derived from the Old German words "schuoch wurhte," and the German "schuowirt," which mean "shoemaker."

Spelling variations of this family name include: Schubert, Schubart, Schubaert, Schuberdt, Shubert and others.

First found in Bohemia, where the name was closely identified in early mediaeval times with the feudal society which would shape the course of European history. Chronicles mention Waczlab Schubort in the town Dux in 1390, and Close Schubert in Glatz in 1415. They would later emerge as a noble family with great influence, having many distinguished branches, and become noted for their involvement in social, economic and political affairs.

Some of the first settlers of this family name or some of its variants were: Christoph Schubert, who arrived in Philadelphia in 1734 along with David Schubart. Johann Michael Schubert and Johann Michael Schubert both arrived on Philadelphia in 1753.

Motto Translated: Diligently and faithfully.
