German: status name for a headman, leader, or captain, from
Middle High German houb(e)t, houpt ‘head’ + man
‘man’. This word denoted any of various civil and military officials
at different times and places; it is found as a surname in many parts
of central Europe. The first element represents the original Germanic
word for ‘head’, but already during the Middle Ages it was being
replaced in the literal sense by Kopf, so that today it is
retained only in compounds such as this, where it has the transferred
sense ‘chief’, ‘principal’.Jewish: mainly an ornamental adoption
