The Anglo-Saxon name Chub comes from Jubb, a diminutive of the Christian name Job. 1 While this is the most recognized origin of the name, two sources claim the name was Saxon or Anglo-Saxon having derived from the "cob, a great-headed, full-cheeked fellow" 2 or from the Anglo-Saxon "personal name Ceob(b)a." 3

Early Origins of the Chub family

The surname Chub was first found in Somerset where Kirby's Quest listed: Adam Chubbe; Alicia Chubbe; Robert Chobbe; and Alicia Chobbe, all having been there 1 Edward III (during the first year of the reign of King Edward III.) 4

United States Chub migration to the United States +

At this time, the shores of the New World beckoned many English families that felt that the social climate in England was oppressive and lacked opportunity for change. Thousands left England at great expense in ships that were overcrowded and full of disease. A great portion of these settlers never survived the journey and even a greater number arrived sick, starving, and without a penny. The survivors, however, were often greeted with greater opportunity than they could have experienced back home. These English settlers made significant contributions to those colonies that would eventually become the United States and Canada. An examination of early immigration records and passenger ship lists revealed that people bearing the name Chub arrived in North America very early:
