Webb

Meaning

English and Scottish: occupational name for a weaver, early Middle English webbe, from Old English webba (a primary derivative of wefan ‘to weave’; compare Weaver 1). This word survived into Middle English long enough to give rise to the surname, but was already obsolescent as an agent noun; hence the secondary forms with the agent suffixes -er and -ster. ^[1]
Americanized form of various Ashkenazic Jewish cognates, including Weber and Weberman.^[2]
