Wiebe (surname)
Wiebe is a West Frisian surname with its origin in Friesland. It is from a short form of any various West Frisian personal names beginning with wig, "battle", "war".[1] There are no non-Dutch Wiebe surnames in Karl Stumpp's work which seems unlikely if the top explanation were viable.
