"Cubby" is short for "cubbyhole", which is a medieval word. I believe that the shortened form became popular in the late 20th century in elementary schools. To make "Cubby" plural swap the "y" for "ies". Dropping the "s" to make words singular again is a very new trend, probably connected to 21st century baby naming trends e.g. Maddie as a name.
