Contrary to what many believe, this has nothing to do with honey ("Honig" in German, and pronounced quite similarly), but rather comes from a former way of pronouncing the auxiliary verb "haben" (“have”). This word alone was enough to tell people from the surrounding communities apart by their dialect (Niedernberg: "hohn", Großwallstadt: "hewwe", Großostheim: "haoun"). Earlier generations in Niedernberg customarily said, instead of the standard German "habe ich" (“have I”), the local form "hohn isch", leading those in neighbouring places to give them the nickname “Honisch”. Over the years, this designation has become a “brandname”, particularly at Carnival time. Niedernberg has the Miltenberg district's highest population growth.

Work has been done for years on eliminating debt and according to a plan, no new loans have been assumed.
