The Hubbard family name is also sometimes said to be derived from Hubert but Hubert dates to the Norman conquest and Hubbard probably comes from the much earlier conqueror Hubba the Dane. In fact, the book "One Thousand Years of Hubbard History" published in 1895 by Edward Day claims Hubert was a spelling variation of Hubbard, not the other way around.
