My families name was Schieberl. Any connection to this name? I've never found anyone who could tell me what Schieberl means. Angie Wright Meyer RN
It was probably spelled Schüberl, and that means a small sliding tray in a cabinet. A "Schieber" in German is a person pushing something or someone, but it has also a second meaning for racketeering. The L on the end is a diminutive, meaning a small pusher or black marketeer. And here is what the Name Lexicon states: Schiebel (meaning a small bundle of straw) Jesco Schübel is recorded in the German Bohemian town of Mies in (Stribro) in 1380 There is also a derivative of Schiban, which is Siban in Slavic, which is Siebold in German.

In France , Alsace you can found many EBERLE (=Eberl) I have family to Bayern/Miesbach name Eberl There caming from Sudetenland/ Durrmaul (married Kriesch from Durrmaul) A+
Jean: Merci! This is indeed a most important piece of information, because it points to the origin of that name, and perhaps long before it appears in the Egerland. Dürrmaul, now Drmoul, is in the Egerland near Marienbad. In the 13th century Johann of Luxembourg became the King of Bohemia and brought a lot of "his" people with him to Bohemia which was to the greatest part a virgin forest. Also, Alsace Lorraine and Luxembourg used to be part of the Austrian Hungarian Monarchy, like Bohemia. I am sure that the movement towards East where settlers were needed, made an impact as early as then on the lands along the Rhine where population flourished. We can find this same trend of "settlement to the East" again in the 17th and 18th century in the Ukraine, Transylvania, Banat and in German settlements in Donauschwaben villages in Yugoslavia, where the Eberl name is also very frequent.
