Heberle have been in Australia since
21 September 1851.� This book, which
has been distributed in A4 format a number of times 1994-2001, provides details
of some 200 persons who have used the surname Heberle and lived in Australia,
of which at least 127 have died and up to 73 live. This includes anyone who has
used the name at any time in their life. Three other books in this series are
listed in References.

There are numerous surnames spelt
similarly to Heberle, including H�berle, Haberle and Haeberle. Many surnames
have different spellings. Some family members changed the spelling or
pronunciation of their surname, eg by adding an e or deleting the umlaut or
graves, due to change of language. In past times, carelessness and a high
degree of illiteracy (many people could not spell their names) compounded the
number of ways a name was spelt. Often government officials spelt the name the
way it sounded to them. As a result, surnames were often spelt differently on
various documents.
The origin of the name Heberle is
uncertain. In some places it was in use in 1550, before which church books (of
births, deaths and marriages) are not available for most places.
�
It may be occupational in origin, associated with the Germans and Jews,
meaning �one who grew or dealt in oats�, from the early German word �Haber� for
oats (Hanks & Hodges 1988).
�
Its possible that Heberle comes from �Eber�, which is wild boar in
German (Gonzalez 2001).
�
It could be derived from �Heber� which is a loader or carrier (Jones
1990).
�
According to Heintze & Cascorbi (1933), Hattu/Hadu, which is war in
gothic, developed into Hadaperth, Habbert, Habert, Hebert, Heberling, Heberle
and other names.
�
It is possible that Heberle has more than one origin and all of the
above may apply.
In a few
places the name Heberle was in use in 1550 but many of the branches had
ancestors recorded with other surnames. Family tree data shows that some
Heberles had ancestors with names such as Heberlin, H�berlin, H�berle,
Heberlein, Eberle, Heberlig, Haberling. The most common recorded ancestor is
Heberlin (c35% of the branches before 1700) but its possible that Heberlin is
latin for Heberle. Many early church books were in latin. There is evidence
that some Heberle evolved from names such as Epperlein, Eberlini, Ebirlein,
Eberlinus, Hepperle.
Family tree data shows that a number
of names evolved from Heberle, including H�berle, Haberle, Heberly, Haberly, Heverly, Haverly, Hebrlee,
Heberling, Haberl, Heberl, in some places. In other places these names could
have evolved from other names, such as Haber, Haver, Heber.
Names such as Heberlee, Heberlie, Heberley, Habberley, Hebley, Heaberle,
Haberley, Heberly, Haberly, Heverly, Haverly, Hebrlee as found in Great Britain,
USA, Australia and New Zealand may be anglicised versions of Heberle/ H�berle/Haberle.
There are a number of
Haber/Heber/Eber type names, which may not be closely related to Heberle. These
include Aberle, Eberhart, Heberhart, Epple, Eple, Haberer, Haberar, Haberma,
Haberman, Habermann, Havermann. Hebert is a common name, perhaps originating from France and
probably not closely related to Heberle (may be related to Herbert). The same
can be said of Ebert. Some of the Hebers and Hubers are British or Jewish
origin and not related to Heberle.
Examination of name index, telephone
book and other data suggests that there were possibly some 285,000 people with
Haber/Heber/Eber type names in the world in 2001, including some 56,000 Eberle,
19,000 Haber, 12,000 Haberl, 10,000 Eberlein, 9,000 Heber, 9,000 Eber, 7,000
Eberl, 7,000 Hafer, 7,000 Hebel, 7,000 Aberle, 3,900 Heberle, 3,700 H�berle
and about 1,800 Haberle.
All of the Australian Heberles have
German ancestry. Most came from the Clausthal-Zellerfeld mining area in the
Harz Mountains in the Kingdom of Hannover (now Lower Saxony State). By 1840,
the Clausthal mines had been worked for over 700 years. A flood of South
American lead caused the price to fall and put many German miners out of work.
The Hannover government helped unemployed miners to migrate to Brazil, Mexico,
Texas and South Australia between about 1840 and 1860. Clausthal-Zellerfeld is
located about 80 km SE of Hannover and had a population of c17,000 in 2000.
South Australia
About 85% of the Australian Heberles
are descendants of August Friedrich Heberle (and his wife Caroline, nee
Papst),a miner from Clausthal-Zellerfeld, who arrived in Adelaide with wife
Caroline and children, Wilhelm (aged 13), Carl (11), Hermann (5), Friedrich (2)
in the barque "Herder" on 21 September 1851.� At least four more children were born in
Australia (August F b 1852, Albert A b 1855, Albert HC b 1856 and Augusta E b
1858).� The family probably settled in
the Mt Barker area before moving to the Burra area (Kooringa-Redruth), where
they lived 1863-c1868.� Some of the
family spent some time on the gold diggings in the Bendigo District, Victoria,
probably in 1852-1855 period. Some or all of the family moved to
Moonta,possibly in about 1855, where August Friedrich died in 1870 and wife
Caroline died in 1885. Some of the family, including Herman moved to Broken
Hill in 1886. Wilhelm also moved to Broken Hill and probably so did Carl.� August junior moved from SA after the birth
of daughter Elsie in 1885, to Broken Hill, where son Leslie was born in
1889.��
August Friedrich's elder brother
Friedrich Ludwig arrived in Adelaide on 2 January 1855, with wife Carol
and children, Augusta (19), Heinrich (16), Johanne (12) and Wilhelm (6).� By 1858 they were living in Burra. Johanne
married in Redruth in 1858 and two daughters of Heinrich CC were born in
Redruth in 1867 and 1875.� Charles and
Anna Heberle were married in Hahndorf in 1888 and probably stayed in SA.�� Anna died in SA in 1904 and is buried in Hahndorf.
Albert HC Heberle and Elizabeth (nee Sampson) were married in Adelaide in 1880
and their children were born in SA between 1881 and 1890. There are now few
Heberles living in South Australia. Most are from the family of Wilhelm and
Hilda Heberle who migrated from Rottenburg am Neckar, in SW Germany in 1952.
New South Wales
Some of the Heberle moved to Broken
Hill around 1886. Broken Hill was not developed until 1885. There were many
Heberle in Broken Hill between 1887 and 1900. Some of the family moved to WA
for the goldrushes c1894-1899. Most returned to NSW, Victoria or SA, by about
1900. Harold Percy Heberle, son of Leslie was in Manly NSW in 1915, but
returned to WA in about 1930. Cecil E Heberle, son of Albert HC was in Sydney
by 1916. There has been no one using the surname Heberle in Broken Hill since
1958. In 2000 there was only one Heberle family living in NSW; the family of
Kenneth and Rhonda Heberle.
Victoria
August Friedrich's family spent some
time on the gold diggings in the Bendigo District, Victoria, probably in
1852-1855 period. Charles Heberle (born Clausthal-Zellerfeld 1838) was farming
in the Huntly area near Bendigo Victoria from the 1860s until his death in
1925. Two of August Friedrich's sons, William and Frederick, lived in Melbourne
in about 1886. The descendants of Frederick�s son Harry B. live in the
Myrtleford-Tawonga area. They are the only Heberles in Victoria. William Henry
Heberle, son of Frederick Ludwig Heberle, lived in Melbourne from about 1874.
West Australia
Some of the Heberles were in WA for
the Coolgardie-Kalgoorlie goldrushes.�
Herman Heberle worked in or managed mines in Coolgardie and Bardoc WA
from about 1894-99. In 1897, Frederick Heberle was a Director at Broad Arrow
Lease, N of Kalgoorlie. August Frederick Heberle junior was probably in the
Kalgoorlie area from about 1894 but his family possibly did not move from
Broken Hill to WA until about 1898. His descendants, some 50% of the surviving
Australian Heberles, live in WA.
Electoral rolls show that there are
no Heberle voters in Tasmania, Queensland and the Northern Territory in
1990-2000. Haberle (occasionally spelt Heberle) are known to have lived in
Tasmania since 1855.
