Meaning & History
A pet form of any of the compound names formed with the prefix leub, liup, or liob meaning "dear, beloved". St. Leobin was a bishop of Chartres in the 6th century (whence the name’s popularity in the Middle Ages), and several places were named Saint-Lubin after him, as for example in Eure, Eure-et-Loir, and Loir-et-Cher.
