Perhaps originally from the Roman personal name, Dolabella. The French have always been fond of adopting classical names, and this occurs as a surname in Normandy in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries in the form of Dolbell. In 1296, however, it is found in Sussex as De Dobel, implying a local origin, and in the sixteenth century the family ranked with the gentry of that county, bearing the canting arms of a Doe between three Bella.
The same as Dobell, which is commonly pronounced Double.
The name of Doble now has its home in the Cullompton district. Dobil and Dobel were Norfolk names in the reign of Edward I. (H. R.). In the same reign De Dobel was a Sussex name, and in the 16th century the family ranked with the gentry of the county (L.).
