According to the Oxford English Dictionary, squabble made its first appearance about 1600, and was first used as a verb in writing in Shakespeare's Othello. It appears to be cognate with a Swedish dialectical word sqvabel, but whether the Swedish or the english word came first it is hard to say.

The word "squabble" originated from the Middle English word "sqwabben," which meant to quarrel or brawl. It entered the English language in the 14th century.
