The word 'Gubba' derives from the word 'Government' and ‘Governor’. As the legendary South Eastern Aboriginal Australians were being forced to learn English in the mid 1800’s, the letter 'B' was pronounced instead of the letter 'V' when saying ‘Government’ and ‘Governor’. Therefore being said as ‘Gubbament’ and Gubbanor’, or short as ‘Gubba’. The word ‘Gubba’ is still used by Aboriginal Australians as A way to describe ‘white Australians’ today.
