The Pictish clans of ancient
Scotland were the ancestors of the first people to use the name Dibble. It comes from on the lands of Dipple in
Morayshire where the name can be found since very early times. The name means
dweller by the hollow and is originally derived from the
personal name Theobald.
Early Origins of the Dibble family
The surname Dibble was first found in Moray, where they held a
family seat from very ancient times, some say well before the
Norman Conquest and the arrival of Duke William at Hastings in 1066 A.D.

Migration of the Dibble family to the New World and Oceana
Many Scots left their country to travel to the North American colonies in search of the freedom they could not find at home. Of those who survived the difficult voyage, many found the freedom they so desired. There they could choose their own beliefs and allegiances. Some became United Empire Loyalists and others fought in the American
War of Independence. The
Clan societies and highland games that have sprung up in the last century have allowed many of these disparate Scots to recover their collective national identity. A search of immigration and passenger ship lists revealed many early settlers bearing the Dibble name:
