Etymology of StobaughWhat does the name Stobaugh mean? The first element of the place-name is Old English stubb or stobb, 'a stub a tree-stump' a word which also gives Scots stobb 'stake post'. The second element is probably Old English hoh 'heel, projecting ridge of land' whence Scots heuch or heugh 'precipice crag cliff a steep hill.' 1 Early Origins of the Stobaugh familyThe surname Stobaugh was first found in Peeblesshire, at the old barony of Stobo. Some of the first records of the family were: David de Stubhou or Stobhou, who witnessed charters by Jocelin, Bishop of Glasgow, c. 1177-1199; Adam de Stobhou, who was a juror on an inquest held at Peebles in 1262; and John Stobo, a servant to the king in 1583. 2 William Stobo was charged with tumult in Glasgow in 1606, Mathew Stobo was listed in Kittimure, parish of Stanehaven in 1630, and five more of the name were found there at that time. Major Robert Stobo, a native of Glasgow, guided the Fraser Highlanders up the Heights of Abraham at Quebec in 1759. 2 Stobo Castle is located at Stobo in the Scottish Borders, in the former county of Peeblesshire.
