Robb is a surname of Scottish origin, formed from a diminution (reduction) of the name Robert. Robert was a popular name, especially after its use by three Scots Kings in the fourteenth century. Rob is first recorded as a surname in the mid-15th century, with several individuals recorded in the decades either side of 1500. As the 16th century progressed there were early groupings in Aberdeenshire, Lanarkshire and later in Perthshire/Stirlingshire. It is likely that the name originated with the offspring of a Robert or Rob, when surnames began to flourish, but unlike some surnames there is no one source for the name. The surname was originally spelled Rob, sometimes Robe, but by 1800 the vast majority of families had added an extra 'b' in common with some other three letter surnames e.g. Hog to Hogg. Despite a number of early English families named Robe, Robb, Robbe and Robbes the surname did not develop in the same way as it did in Scotland. Robe or Robbe is a popular surname in Germany, Holland, Belgium and France and also mainly derives from a diminution of Robert. Rob is also a surname in Slovenia, Croatia and the Czech Republic although the derivation is different. Rob also appears as a popular surname in Bangladesh and Kenya, but again the derivation is different. Although the surname originates in Scotland, Protestant branches of the family settled in Ireland during the sixteenth century Plantations, with the earliest record of the name appearing in Protestant Muster Rolls in the early 1630s. The Robb of Timpany family is thought to have originated with one James Robb who in the late seventeenth century was said to have been a chief mason of the King's Works in Ireland and an assistant of Inigo Jones. A descendant Captain James Robb built Timpany House in 1780. Sir William Robe (1765-1820) of the Royal Artillery was granted Arms in Ireland in 1814, with a recorded descent from James Robe of Augrim, his great-grandfather.
