As the English language changed, so did many names, in particular, the letter "e" was dropped from the end of many Old English surnames.The first known person with the name "Cobbe" was Leuricus Cobbe, who was registered in the Doomsday Book as a Saxon living in Suffolk, England, in 1086.The surname Cobb originates from the Middle English name Cobbe, Cobba, or Old Norse Kobbi. The name is a nickname form of Jacob.
