Origins Available: English, German Where did the English Dobbe family come from? What is the English Dobbe family crest and coat of arms? When did the Dobbe family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the Dobbe family history? The Dobbe name is an important part of the history of the ancient Anglo-Saxon tribes of Britain. Dobbe is derived from Robert. Dobb was a diminutive of the name Robert in the Middle Ages; is has changed since then to the modern form Bob. Before the last few hundred years, the English language had no fast system of spelling rules. For that reason, spelling variations are commonly found in early Anglo-Saxon surnames. Over the years, many variations of the name Dobbe were recorded, including Dobbs, Dobb, Dobbe, Dobbes and others. First found in Lancashire where they held a family seat from very early times. This web page shows only a small excerpt of our Dobbe research.

To escape oppression and starvation at that time, many English families left for the "open frontiers" of the New World with all its perceived opportunities. In droves people migrated to the many British colonies, those in North America in particular, paying high rates for passages in cramped, unsafe ships. Although many of the settlers did not make the long passage alive, those who did see the shores of North America perceived great opportunities before them. Many of the families that came from England went on to make essential contributions to the emerging nations of Canada and the United States. Research into various historical records revealed some of first members of the Dobbe family emigrate to North America: John and Samuel Dobbs who settled in Pennsylvania about the year 1750; James Dobbs settled in Maryland in 1741; William Dobbs settled in New York in 1822. The motto was originally a war cry or slogan. Mottoes first began to be shown with arms in the 14th and 15th centuries, but were not in general use until the 17th century. Thus the oldest coats of arms generally do not include a motto. Mottoes seldom form part of the grant of arms: Under most heraldic authorities, a motto is an optional component of the coat of arms, and can be added to or changed at will; many families have chosen not to display a motto. Motto: Proximi summa Motto Translation: Nearest summit.
The Dobbe Family Crest was acquired from the Houseofnames.com archives. The Dobbe Family Crest was drawn according to heraldic standards based on published blazons. We generally include the oldest published family crest once associated with each surname. This page was last modified on 27 October 2010 at 13:31. ©2000-2012 Swyrich Corporation.
