Gabb Surname Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
This surname is derived from the name of an ancestor. 'the son of Gabriel,' from nick. Gab; v. Gaball.
William Gabbe, Close Roll, 20 Richard II.
Thomas Gab-Nave (I. e. Thomas, the servant of Gab), 1379: Poll Tax of Yorkshire.
A diminutive of Gabriel, q.v.
The Lond. Direct, shews us several traders gifted with this patronymic, which Ferguson thinks derivable from the O. High German geban, to give. It is more probably a nick-name of Gabriel. Or it may relate to loquacity, for the Anglo-Norman gabber means to jest or talk idly. Wickliffe uses gabbing in the sense of lying and jesting; and in the H.R. we have Le Gabber as a surname.
William Gaipi of Normandy, 1198 (Magni Rotuli Scaccarii Normanniae); Robert Gappe of England, c. 1272 (Rotuli Hundredorum).
From the Danish, Gabe; a personal name.
