Our surname is derived from the first or Christian name Theobald, which was probably pronounced 'Tibot' in Medieval England.
During our research of the earlier Tebbutts, we have found our surname spelt in many different ways, these include
Tebauld, Tebbat, Tibbat, Tibot, Tibbote, Tebbot, Tebit, Tebbit, Tibbett, Tibbott, Tybott, Tebbut, Tibbit, Tebbutt
These variarions are mainly due to many different interpretations of the spoken word in days gone by. However, since around 1700 the spelling has been consistant.
