    Name Meaning

    English (mainly West Country): nickname from Middle English chubbe ‘chub’, a common freshwater fish, Leuciscus cephalus. The fish is notable for its short, fat shape and sluggish habits, and the word was used in early Modern English for a lazy, spiritless person, a rustic, or a simpleton. It is also probably the origin of modern English chubby, although the term has lost any pejorative overtones.
