 Other forms of the name that appeared over time are "Huntheym" (1363), "Hontheim" (1436), "Hundtheim" (1480) and "Hontum" (1515).The original name "Glene" therefore relates to the Celtic name Glan, still used for the local river today, while the later name Hundheim, still used now, is interpreted as the seat of the "Hun".Part of Offenbach-Hundheim’s municipal area belonged in the Middle Ages to the now vanished village of Niederaschbach.
