An elevated spot is known in some dialects as a top, and is used antithetically to bottom. Residence on such a spot would originate the surname.

The Dorset family of Topp probably belong to the ancient Wiltshire family of Topp, now extinct, that held the manor of Stockton in Wilts from before the Reformation until the close of last century, when it passed by marriage into the possession of Robert Balch, Esq., of St. Audries, Somerset (Hoare's "Wilts").

User-submitted Reference

As most early records of name come from Devon, it is possible that name could be of Welsh (Cymraeg) origin. If so the most likely is one of the descriptive type as there is a Welsh word, toop (twp), which means 'stupid'.
