Schubart is a surname of German origin, derived from the Middle High German word "schubart," which means "bear." The name has been used as both a given name and a surname throughout history. In the context of music, Schubart is particularly notable for being the surname of two prominent composers: Franz Schubart (1737-1810) and his son, Franz Peter Schubart (1771-1851).
