The lobb Surname
lobb Name Meaning and History
English: habitational name from a place in Devon, recorded in
Domesday Book as Loba, apparently a topographical term meaning
perhaps ‘lump’, ‘hill’, the village being situated at the bottom of a
hill. There is also a place of the same name in Oxfordshire (recorded
in 1208 as Lobbe), but the historical and contemporary
distribution of the surname (which is still largely restricted to
Devon), makes it unlikely that it ever derived from this place, or
from Middle English, Old English lobbe ‘spider’.
