Alsup Surname Meaning
User-submitted Reference
The Alsop surname is derived from Ælleshope, a place name. It is believed the place name is attributed to an event when one of the three British kings by the name Ælle took refuge in the shallow wooded valley from his enemies. Such a refuge was called a "Hope"; hence Ælleshope. Later this became known as Alsop en le Dale. Literally translated as "Ælle's Hope in the Woods".
Perhaps the earliest recorded ancestor is Gamellus de Alsop en le Dale, circa 1120. Gamellus was included in the first census by the Norman's, the Doomsday Book. It is possible Gamellus was a Norman rewarded with the small township in Derbyshire. The township included a small Roman era church or chapel with a cemetery, a manor house, pasture and tilled lands and perhaps some woods.
The family was for some centuries held a local lordship, with an Alsop serving at court at various times, including the reigns of Henry VIII and James I.
While Alsop family branches immigrated in perhaps three waves through the late 19th century, records show early Alsop family members arriving in the American colonies perhaps as early as 1640.
