CLUBB Family History

Recorded as Club, Clubb, and the rare Clubbe, this is an English surname. It is or rather was, a medieval occupational surname for a "clubber" or a maker of clubs used for warlike purposes. These clubs came in many forms, but were designed for close combat and were often studded with iron to increase their weight and efficiency. In tournaments clubs were often preferred to swords or battle axes, as being easier to use, and better for unhorsing an opponent. The club maker also manufactured other weapons and implements, and was a prominent member of society.
