- This eponymous person is a theoretical construct. There is no evidence to support his actual existence. He is here as a place-holder.
Ancestry.com gives the etymology of the surname Stobart/Stobbard as coming from the Old English surname "Stubheard". However, I believe they are one step short of the true origins. The name Stobart has its clearly definable origins in Northumberland and Durham near the border with Scotland. "Stubheard" if spoken in Gaelic is actually pronounced "Stewart" and is correctly spelled, in Gaelic, "Stiubhaird". It seems convincing to suggest that the correct origin of Stobart is an Anglicization of the Gaelic surname Stiubhaird or Stewart.
