Webb Family History
Webb Name Meaning
English and Scottish: occupational name for a weaver, early
Middle English webbe, from Old English webba (a primary
derivative of wefan ‘to weave’; compare Weaver 1). This
word survived into Middle English long enough to give rise to the
surname, but was already obsolescent as an agent noun; hence the
secondary forms with the agent suffixes -er and -ster.Americanized form of various Ashkenazic Jewish cognates, including
Weber and Weberman.
