Hi - have often been interested in this but have not pursued - my mother's maiden name was Eberts - I don't have a lot of family history but can remember a family member saying that in Germany it used to be Von Ebert

The name Ebert and Eberts interconnect as one. The original Ebert name I am to understand, came from the name Egbert who was an early King of England which was of German royalty in those days. The Name Ebert and not Eberts showed up in records around 1100 years ago in Bavaria, from that they spread out through out Germany to many provinces. later to travel to different parts of Europe, England America and Canada,etc. Ebert now is a commen name but a few were knights for the Kings of Germany and others married in to certain royal lines of Germany.

Keep in mind been a von Ebert or von Eberts does not make one a royal or a carrier of royal blood but it may mean you or your ancestors may have a royal connection by said families marring in to some royal lines and the Ebert who may have married into said lines may have kept their family name along with their noble connected new name.

You are probably aware that von in german has different meanings not just a noble title, also some past and present Ebert linage just add the von before their surname for various reasons when they are not etitled to do so

I agree this must be common since my grandfather's name is Ebert. His father's name was William Ebert and I think the name goes up. Apparently my great grandfather moved as a child to the US and wasn't taught to speak much German -- it looked suspicious. Even so, my grandfather speaks a bit because he had heard it. I would love to have royal lineage; just knowing I had family elsewhere in the world is good enough.
