This name is said to have later become corrupted to Waubach. Ubach over Worms as a municipality dates back to 1795. It contained the five hamlets; Groenstraat, Rimburg, Waubach, Lauradorp and Abdissenbosch.

They then chose the name Ubach over Worms, which means Ubach over Worms River, as seen from the German Übach.
