Pronunciation [edit]

Etymology 1 [edit]
From a Late Old English (11th century) word dubban (“to knight by striking with a sword”) perhaps borrowed from Old French aduber, adober "equip with arms; adorn" (also 11th century, Modern French adouber), of uncertain origin, but possibly from a Frankish *dubban, cognate with Icelandic dubba (dubba til riddara). Compare also drub for an English reflex of the Germanic word.
The modern sense of "to name" is from the 1590s.
