President Bush's father's name is George H.W Bush and President Bush's name is George W. Bush hence The "Dubya" for his middle initial.

Dubya is an alternate, or joke spelling of the letter W.

Because W. is spelled Dubya. While watching GWB on TV, I've suspected he's had Dub ya his speeches and his body.

Because, in the south, we pronounce "W" like "dubya".
Especially in Texas.
And people called him "W" because if they called him "George Bush", he would get confused with his father.

Because Southernes can't say W properly...Similar to Ted Kennedy not able to pronouce R. ( EX: Pak the Caa Translation: Park the Car or Ruuf for Roof.

"W" > almost the same as "dubya"
Same pronunciation.

It's a Mockery of his Texan accent.
