The only time I've heard that word and it was used as an extremely derogatory term for someone who was Jewish. Without actually checking on the etymology of the word, I would say that it's a derivative of the word 'Hebrew'.
Probably best not to use this word if you can avoid it.
Love as always,
Sebastian

As for the word being derogatory towards Jewish people, there is a Jewish pop culture magazine called 'Heeb - The New Jew Review'

I was under the impression that it was a semi-derogatory term for someone of the Jewish faith/Hebrew lineage.
