The Anglo-Saxon name Club comes from when its first bearer worked as a maker of clubs. The surname Club originally derived from the Old English spelling Clobbere. It was commonly found in the area of Farndon, Cheshire where the family first lived.
The surname Club was first found in Farndon, near Chester, which "seems to have been the habitat of the family." 1
So at to prove the point, the Wills at Chester included the following entries: Hugh Clubb, of Farndon, 1588; John Clubb, of Holt, 1607; Francis Clubbe, of Farndon, 1695; and John Clubbe, of Worthenbury, 1689. 1

Until quite recently, the English language has lacked a definite system of spelling rules. Consequently, Anglo-Saxon surnames are characterized by a multitude of spelling variations. Changes in Anglo-Saxon names were influenced by the evolution of the English language, as it incorporated elements of French, Latin, and other languages. Although Medieval scribes and church officials recorded names as they sounded, so it is common to find one person referred to by several different spellings of his surname, even the most literate people varied the spelling of their own names. Variations of the name Club include Clubb, Club, Clobbe, Clubbe and others.

Searching for a better life, many English families migrated to British colonies. Unfortunately, the majority of them traveled under extremely harsh conditions: overcrowding on the ships caused the majority of the immigrants to arrive diseased, famished, and destitute from the long journey across the ocean. For those families that arrived safely, modest prosperity was attainable, and many went on to make invaluable contributions to the development of the cultures of the new colonies. Research into the origins of individual families in North America revealed records of the immigration of a number of people bearing the name Club or a variant listed above:
