Toope Surname Definition:
This surname is derived from a geographical locality. I dare not hazard a guess at the derivation of this name. Probably Mr. Lower is right in supposing it to be 'at the top,' from residence on some summit of a small hill, corresponding with Bottom, from residence in some hollow.

Toope Surname Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
This surname is derived from a geographical locality. I dare not hazard a guess at the derivation of this name. Probably Mr. Lower is right in supposing it to be 'at the top,' from residence on some summit of a small hill, corresponding with Bottom, from residence in some hollow.
Robert Top, Somerset, 1 Edward III: Kirby's Quest.
William Toppe, Somerset, 1 Edward III: ibid.
1600-7. Henry Topp, Dorset: Register of the University of Oxford.
1612. John Toppe, Wiltshire: ibid.
1580. Baptised — John Tooppe: Reg. Stourton, Wilts.
1639. — David, s. Robert Toope: ibid.
Found also as Top in the same register.
1669. Married — Edward Top and Ann Lavington: St. James, Clerkenwell.
Edward Top admitted burgess of Aberdeen, 1486 (NSCM., I, p. 32) is doubtless the Edward Top who was fined in 1497 for "failzeit in the waching of the tone" (CRA., p. 60). Ernest Gillian Topp from Turriff was killed in the first Great War (Turriff).
(English) lengthened vars. of Tupp, q.v.; but there may have been some confusion with Topp, q.v.
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").
