- Origins Available:
 Germany The history of the Strubbe family began in the historic kingdom of Schleswig, which is the northernmost state in western Germany. By and large, hereditary surnames were formed in Germany when areas of Schleswig, and most of the German states, were a part of the Holy Roman Empire. At this time, as the population of Europe swelled and travel became easier, people began to encounter others sharing their own name. They avoided confusion by adopting a second name. A common form of surname found in Schleswig are those that are derived from nicknames. Nickname surnames were derived from an eke-name, or added name. They usually reflected the physical characteristics or attributes of the first person that used the name. The surname Strubbe was a name for a man who was unkempt and had hair that was shaggy and bristly. Ancient records reveal the name Strubbe is derived from the Old German "strub," which means "rough" or "unkept."
