Family History:
The surname of Hubbard was of the Anglo-Saxon variety, deriving from the Anglo-Saxon personal name of “Hugibert” or “Hubert.” These names had the elements of “hug” which can be translated to mean “heart,” and the element of “beorht” which can be interpreted as meaning “bright” or “famous” –which made this surname very popular in the earliest time of its discovery. This surname of Hubbard was believed to be introduced in England and Wales by the Saxon invaders in the 8th Century, but did appear in the Doomsday Book of 1086. The popularity of this surname can also be attributed to the patron saint of hunting, St. Hubert, and England being a country that largely enjoys hunting as as sport or recreational activity.
This name
was spelt as
Hubbarde, Hubbeard, Hubbardd, Hubbared, Hiubbard, Haubbard, Hubbaerd, Hubbarrd, Hobbard, Hubberd, Hubbet, Hubert, Hobart
At first the coat of arms was a practical matter which served a function on the battlefield and in tournaments. With his helmet covering his face, and armor encasing the knight from head to foot, the only means of identification for his followers, was the insignia painted on his shield, and embroidered on his surcoat, the draped and flowing garment worn over the armor. Between the 11th and 15th centuries it became customary for surnames to be assumed in Europe, but they were not commonplace in England or Scotland before the Norman Conquest of 1066.
