The English language only became standardized in the last few centuries; therefore, spelling variations are common among early Anglo-Saxon names. As the form of the English language changed, even the spelling of literate people's names evolved. Babb has been recorded under many different variations, including Babe, Babb, Babbs, Babbe and others.

First found in Dorset, where they held a family seat from ancient times, long before the Norman Conquest in 1066 A.D.

On cramped disease-ridden ships, thousands migrated to those British colonies that would eventually become Canada and the United States. Those hardy settlers that survived the journey often went on to make important contributions to the emerging nations in which they landed. Analysis of immigration records indicates that some of the first North American immigrants bore the name Babb or a variant listed above:
