The surname Stubbs has its origins in England and is derived from the Old English word "stubb," meaning a stump or a post. It was initially used as a topographical surname for someone who lived near a prominent stump or post. Over time, the surname spread to other parts of the British Isles, including Ireland.
In Ireland, the surname Stubbs is most commonly associated with English settlers who arrived during the Plantation of Ulster in the 17th century. The plantation involved the colonization of Ulster by Protestant settlers, many of whom were from England and Scotland. These settlers brought their English surnames with them, including Stubbs.
In some cases, the Stubbs surname in Ireland may have also originated from Irish families anglicizing their Gaelic surnames to fit in better with English-speaking society. Anglicization of surnames was common during periods of English influence and colonization in Ireland.
Today, there are still individuals with the Stubbs surname living in Ireland, although it is not as common as in other parts of the British Isles. The surname has also spread to other countries, including the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, through migration and emigration.
