English: from the Middle English personal name Tubbe,
apparently derived from either Old Norse Tubbi or Old English
Tubba (an unattested form, evidence for which is found in the
place name Tubney, Berkshire). There is no evidence to support the
suggestion that it might be a metonymic occupational name or nickname
from Middle English tub ‘barrel’.
