HOB. A
short form of Hobbin, a pet
form of
Robert
(q.v.), meaning "bright fame." Also see Robin.
"... From Hob arose
the surnames Hobbs, Hobson. Hob, as a
familiar abbreviation of Robert, appears to be still so used in
England. In the United States, Robert, when abbreviated, is
always either Rob or Bob. The last form Bob
grew out of infantile pronunciation—Rob, Wob, Ob, Bob." (Transactions of
A.P.A, v.24-25, 1893)
