Heib means smash or hit in English, but is not in common use. As a German family name, it is related to hat making or hat makers.

=======================================================

No German dictionary (including the definitive Duden) recognises Heib as a noun of any kind. It is however used as a surname.

There is, however, the noun Hieb (noun hieben), meaning cut, blow, hit, smash, slash, gash.

Usage:

Er hat mir einen Hieb verpasst - he hit me (lit he gave me a blow)

Hiebwaffe - slashing/cutting weapon, such as a sword

Idiomatic usage:

Auf den ersten Hieb fällt kein Baum - Rome wasn't built in a day (lit. a tree isn't felled by the first blow.

Auf Hieb und Stich gehen - cut and thrust
