Meaning of the name "Doble" |
|
The surnames origins are divided into four
classes: 1. First-name of an ancestor 2. Locality where ancestor originated 3. Occupation or status of an ancestor 4. Nickname descriptive of the ancestor Doble apparently is not a place name. It could come through several languages. Doble could be an an Old French nickname for “twin” (doubel). As well it might come from a derivation of the German name Theobald, meaning “People Bold.” Theobald would have been shorted to Tebald or Tibald; then included in surnames containing "Teb," "Tib," or "Dib" or then finally corrupted into "Doble." More likely Doble is an obscure Cornish word meaning “bell.” (adapted) |
