Jop Forename Meaning

From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history

A male name. Hebrew ‘hated,’ ‘persecuted’. The story of Job was a favourite subject of medieval plays, interludes, &c., and C. W. Bardsley, Dictionary of English and WelshSurnames (pub. 1901) would derive the surnames Job, Jobson, Jobling, Jopling, Jupp, Jubs. It is, however, more probable that the medieval name Jupp or Job represents an English equivalent of Old German Joppo (probably a hypocoristic form of Judbert, &c.). The Biblical name, however, came into use after the Reformation, though it was never common.

Job, Jobba, Joppa, Jop Hundred Rolls 1273.
