The German surname Hoover (also spelled Hüber and Hueber) is a status name based on the Middle High German word huobe, a measure of land, varying in size at different periods and in different places, but always of considerable extent, appreciably larger than the holding of the average peasant. The surname usually denotes a holder or owner of this amount of land, who would have been a prosperous small farmer and probably one of the leading men of his village. A notable bearer of the name was Herbert Clark Hoover (August 10, 1874 – October 20, 1964) the 31st President of the United States.
