Etymology
Probably 'Cubba 's farm,' v. ingtun . For the pers. name cf. Cubley (PN Db 101), Cubbewelle (PN Nth 290) and Cubbington (PN Bk 77–8). In the neighbouring Stoneleigh parish there was a Cubbelowe (13thLegerBk ). Cubba would be a pet-form of such an OE pers. name as Cūþbeorht . The relation of this name to the recorded Cuba is uncertain. That is found in Kentish documents of the late 8th and early 9th centuries and is probably an archaic spelling for Cufa .
