Gibbson is English in Origin.
Gibbson is an English and Scottish patronymic turned given name, a rarer double‑b respelling of Gibson. It literally means “son of Gibb,” with Gibb the medieval diminutive of Gilbert. Gilbert came to Britain with the Normans (Old French Gilebert), from Germanic elements gisil “pledge; noble youth” and berht “bright, famous.” Thus Gibbson may be read as “son of the bright pledge.”
As a surname, Gibbson and its kin appear in late medieval records of northern England and Scotland; the spelling later stabilized as Gibson, while Gibbson persisted in some regions and in emigrant lines. As a first name it is a modern Anglophone choice within the surname‑as‑given‑name trend. Variants include Gibson and Gipson; related forms are Gibbs and Gibb. Nicknames: Gib, Gibby.
