Uber, derived from German, signifies 'top' or 'highest'. It's popularity as a given name is relatively recent, coinciding with the establishment of the ride-sharing company Uber Technologies Inc., in 2009. This association has made it increasingly familiar and desirable to parents naming their sons. Before this, it was more commonly used as a surname. In German culture, Uber holds connotations of superiority or excellence due to its original meaning.
"The name Uber has seen a fluctuating number of newborns annually over the years, with peaks in 1996 and 2008, each having 7 births, and a combined total of 36 across these six years."
