Literature | Hubert (h silent), in Shakespeare's King John, is Hubert de Burgh, Justice of England, created Earl of Kent. He died 1243. St. Hubert. Patron saint of huntsmen. He was son of Bertrand, Due d'Acquitaine, and cousin of King Pepin. Hubert was so fond of the chase that he neglected his religious duties for his favourite amusement, till one day a stag bearing a crucifix menaced him with eternal perdition unless he reformed. Upon this the merry huntsman entered a cloister, became in time Bishop of Lièe, and the apostle of Ardennes and Brabant. Those who were descended of his race were supposed to possess the power of curing the bite of mad dogs. St. Hubert in Christian art is represented sometimes as a bishop with a miniature stag resting on the book in his hand, and sometimes as a noble huntsman kneeling to the miraculous crucifix borne by the stag.

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
As a Family name it is explained as an abbreviation of Hubertz (Yiddish & Sorbian form of Huberowitz) meaning "Houber's son" or "(son) of Heber" or simply Heberite.
As a first name it is most commonly explained from Teutonic combining the elements Mind (Hu) + Bright (Bert). It was most popular in Belgium after the Belgian Saint Hubert whose legend is built around a popular Transylvanian motif. This is not surprising when considering its Huber element as a derivation of Heber.
It also occurs in the following variations:
Hubbard Huppertz Huppert Hupert Hobart Hibbert Kubers Coopers Kubritz Heberite etc.. (please add more)
