The surname Tubb has its roots in Ireland, where it can be traced back to ancient times. The name is believed to have originated from the Gaelic surname "MacTighe," which means "son of Tighe." Tighe itself is a Gaelic personal name derived from the word "tighearna," meaning "lord" or "master." Over time, the pronunciation and spelling of the name evolved, eventually becoming Tubb.
The Tubb family was predominantly found in the province of Ulster, particularly in counties Armagh and Tyrone. They were part of the larger Gaelic Irish clan system, which was prevalent in Ireland before English colonization. Clan members often bore surnames based on their father's name or their ancestral homeland.
During the 17th century, Ireland experienced significant political and social upheaval with the arrival of English and Scottish settlers. This period, known as the Plantation of Ulster, led to the displacement of many native Irish families. Some Tubbs may have emigrated to other countries during this time in search of better opportunities or to escape the turmoil.
Today, individuals with the surname Tubb can still be found in Ireland, although the name is not as common as it once was. Many Tubbs have also settled in other parts of the world, particularly in countries with a strong Irish diaspora, such as the United States, Canada, and Australia.
