Origin of the Surname TIBBITS.
|
|
TIBBITS.
Has the same signification as Theobald, of which it is a corruption. Theobald
is in the French Theobaud, pronounced Tibbo, whence Tibbauds
or Tibbitts. Theobald is derived by Camden from Theod, the
people, and bald, brave or bold, that is, powerful or bold over the
people. B. Rhenanus derives it from Theos, God, and bald—God's
power.
