The mighty Anglo-Saxon tribes who once ruled all of Britain originated the powerful English surname of "Babb" to denote a family living in area called "Babe" in Suffolk. This place-name literally means "Babba's enclosure". The personal name "Babba" means "protector". The family name is on record as having held a family seat at Dorset long before the Norman Invasion of 1066 A.D. Various members of the Babb family survived cramped and disease-ridden "freedom ships" to emigrate to the colonies in the Americas as early as the 1600s.
