The earliest record of the word bubble in the English language dates back to 1398, from Middle English bubbelen (verb) 'to bubble'. Earler, in 1350-1400 we see the form bobel (noun), which may have come from Middle Dutch bobbel (noun) or from Middle Late German: bubbeln (verb), bubbele (noun). All of these words may have originated from the oral/verbal representation of the natural sound of something that bubbles.

The word "bubble" likely comes from the Middle English word "bobel" or "bฤbelle," which meant a small swelling or round object. It may have originated from the Dutch word "bubbel" or the Old French "boule," both of which mean a small ball or swelling.
