About Ubbe

Ubbe or Ubba was a 9th-century Viking and one of the commanders of the Great Heathen Army that invaded Anglo-Saxon England in the 9th century. It ultimately has its roots in either the Old Norse Úlfr, meaning "wolf", or the word úfr meaning "unfriendly". Also spelled as appearing as Ubbi, it may also be used as a diminutive of Urban ("city dweller").

A notable bearer is Ub Iwerks, an early collaborator of Walt Disney, a co-inventor of Mickey Mouse and an award-winning animator.

Pronounced OOB-uh.
