Allpress Surname Meaning

From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history

This surname is derived from a nickname. 'the holy priest'; Anglo-Saxon halig, holy, from hal, whole. Whatever the meaning, the following entry refers to the ancestor:

Thomas Alprest, Cambridgeshire, 1273. Hundred Rolls.

Thus -prest (priest) and not -press is the suffix. The surname has always had Cambridgeshire and Hants for its habitat. There need be no anxiety as to the want of an h if Holy-priest be the parent. The Hundred Rolls (1273) in scores of cases ignore the aspirate. The Cockney is not in it, judging by early registers.
