The surname Webb was first found in Wiltshire where they held a family seat anciently from about the time of the Norman Conquest in 1066. This name is confined south of a line drawn from the Wash to the Dee.
This most interesting surname is of Anglo-Saxon origin, and originated as a nickname for someone who was a swift, fast runner, from the Olde English pre 7th Century word swift, fleet. It is a rather unique name as it has retained its original spelling for over one thousand years.
