Meaning of German last name "Schibber"?

Question

and are there any alternative spellings of the name? i've seen "skibber" which may or not may derived from schibber. any one with any knowledge of the surname is welcome to answer :)

Answer 1

German-English translations for "schieben":

to edge (on)

to push

to shove

to shuffle

to move

to slide {slid, slid}

to thrust {thrust, thrust}

'i' in Schibber read in German sounds almost same as 'ie' in schiebe, 'i' would be read like 'e' and 'ie' like 'ee'

Answer 2

Probably a corruption of "Schiffer" (sailor).
