Cubby Family History

Cubby Surname Meaning

of uncertain origin. Black suggests that Cubbie was a reduced form of the personal name Cuthbert and cites Cubbison by way of comparison.

However in that case Cubbison is derived from the Gaelic personal name Giobún (Gibbon), a pet form of Gilbert (see McGibbon) and it may well be that that name underlies Cubby instead.
