* As a German and Jewish surname, variant of Taube, occupational surname from the noun meaning "pigeon, dove." * As a south German surname, from the adjective taub (“deaf”).

From Middle English daub (noun), from Middle English dauben (“to plaster or whitewash; cover with clay; bespatter”, verb), from Old Northern French dauber (“to whitewash; plaster”), of uncertain origin. Probably from Latin dealbāre (“to whiten thoroughly”), which would make it a doublet of dealbate.
