"snob"

Walter Skeat (old, but still sometimes right) offers:

snob : a vulgar person, also a journeyman shoemaker, snap a lad,
servant, usulaly in a ludicrous sense; Lowland Scots snab, a cobbler's
boy - Danish dialect snopp, snupp, bashful, silly; Icelandic snapr a dolt,
Swedish dialect sno:pp a boy, anything stumpy, cf Swed dialect sno:ppa, to
cut off, make stumpy. See SNUB, and cf Swedish snopen, ashamed.

Any takers?
