Hubble Origin and Meaning

The name Hubble is a boy's name.

Hubble is an uncommon masculine name derived from an Old English surname, which originally referred to someone who lived near a small hill or mound (from 'hob' or 'hub'). The name gained significant recognition through astronomer Edwin Hubble, after whom NASA's Hubble Space Telescope was named. This scientific association lends the name connotations of discovery, vision, and exploration of the cosmos. As a first name, Hubble remains extremely rare, making it a truly distinctive choice. It carries a bookish, intellectual quality while maintaining a friendly, approachable sound. Parents who choose this name often have an appreciation for astronomy, science, or simply desire an uncommon name with historical significance and positive intellectual associations.
