Best Answer

The oldest meaning of humble is "near the ground." In other words, low. Of humble birth means born in a lower class. Generally one would not apply the phrase to someone who had remained in that lower class, but to one who had risen through commercial efforts, marriage, or chicanery into a higher one.
