The history of the last name Jubb

The surname Jubb is believed to have originated in England, specifically in the northern counties of Yorkshire and Lancashire. It is thought to have derived from a Middle English word "jubbe," which referred to a small pool or pond of water. The name may have been initially given as a nickname or descriptive term for someone who lived near a small body of water.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the name dates back to the 13th century, appearing in the Yorkshire Poll Tax Returns of 1379 as "Henry del Jubbe." This suggests that the name was already in use and perhaps derived from a place name or topographical feature in that region.

In the 16th century, the surname appears in various records with spellings such as "Jubbe," "Jub," and "Jubb." One notable individual from this time period was John Jubb, a Protestant martyr who was burned at the stake in Colchester, Essex, in 1556 during the Marian Persecutions under Queen Mary I.

During the 17th and 18th centuries, the Jubb surname was found concentrated in areas of Yorkshire, Lancashire, and Cheshire. Notable individuals from this period include William Jubb (1651-1720), an English clergyman and author who served as the vicar of Attercliffe in Yorkshire.

In the 19th century, the name appears to have spread more widely across England, with records showing Jubbs residing in counties such as Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire, and Lincolnshire. One prominent figure from this era was Samuel Jubb (1801-1871), an English architect who designed several notable buildings in Yorkshire, including the Sheffield Town Hall.

Another significant individual bearing the Jubb surname was Sir George Jubb (1860-1938), a British businessman and politician who served as the Mayor of Leeds from 1919 to 1920 and later as a Member of Parliament for the Leeds West constituency.

It is worth noting that while the surname Jubb has its roots in northern England, it has since spread to other parts of the English-speaking world, including North America and Australia, as a result of migration and diaspora over the centuries.
