The Meaning of the Name
The name Hubberholme is of Scandinavian origin. Its final element derives from the Old Norse word holmr, an island or patch of raised ground in marsh. The first element is most likely a personal name or an early descriptive term, now difficult to recover with certainty. Taken together the name probably meant something close to ‘a island’.
Names of this type are a fingerprint of Scandinavian settlement: they cluster across the old Danelaw, where Norse-speaking settlers renamed or founded villages from the late 9th century onward.
Remarkably, the name has changed little since 1086, when the Domesday scribes wrote it as Hubberholme.
