"The origin of 'Dubya' from usaweekend.com says that the columnist Molly Ivins coined it in 1995; it's the spelled-out Texas-drawl version of Bush's middle initial (for "Walker"). Her editor at the Fort Worth Star-Telegram tells us Ivins "owned 'Dubya' from the mid-'90s to 1999, then it caught on with everyone else." Well, not really everyone. Close friends call Bush "George W." His dad sometimes calls him "Quincy," a reference to John Quincy Adams, the only son of a president to become president. And almost everybody else calls him "Mr. President."

To distinguish Dubya from his father, they started saying George W. Bush...not quite sure who started it...but it just sort of took off...then people just cut to the chase and say 'W' or even more slangly 'dubya'

President George W. Bush
"W" is just a nickname.

"W" As in the first letter of the president's middle name, I believe his parents used it as a nickname to distinguish him from his father.

That refers to the letter "W", as in George W. Bush, hence duh-bill-ya or dubya. That's how Texans say the letter "W". Actually, I say it duh-bill-ya because he's so dense, hence the "duh"! ; )
