Trollip Surname Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
This surname is derived from a geographical locality. 'of Trollop.' Probably 'hope' is the suffix (v. Hope). Northumberland seems to be the home of the family, but the spot I have failed to identify. They are also early found in Lincolnshire.
William de Trollop, 1383: Prior of Holy Island: Raine's History and Antiquities of North Durham.
John Trolop, 1401: History and Antiquities of the County Palatine of Durham.
1612. Buried — Grace, w. Roger Trowlupp (Reg. Crossgate): History and Antiquities of the County Palatine of Durham.
1744. Married — John Trollop and Sarah Munvell: St. George, Hanover Square.
There was a prominent family of this name in the north of England. The name may be of local origin as suggested by Lower, ' although the place from which it was assumed has been forgotten." John Trollop had charter from Robert I of the lands of Forteviot in the county of Perth (RMS., i. App. II, 482). Richard Trolhope, claviger, had charter of lands in Neubotel, 1564.
(A. - French - Teutonic) Loiterer; Slattern [Dialectal English and Scot. trollop, from troll, French troler, to stroll; Ger. trollen, to roll, loll: -op prob. represents the adv. up] In the Lanc. dialect (and one or two others) the word has taken a final -s— Aw should as soon think o’gettin’ wed to a co’n boggart as sich a trollops.—Waugh, Sneck-Bant, p. 91.
A ‘William de Trollop’ occurs in a I4th-cent. Durham record. The ‘de’ here is prob. a mistake; if it were not, the second element would represent hope (v. Hope), 'a hollow’, and the first doubtless be the Old Norse troll, ‘an elf’, ‘ogre’, ‘giant’.

Place name in North of England.
A name of uncertain derivation. A long-standing tradition in the family makes it Trois Loups, in consequence of some marvellous exploit performed by an early progenitor against the wolves which then infested Lincolnshire; but as the name has been spelt Trowlop, Trolop, and Trolhope, I have little doubt of its belonging to the local class, although the place from which it was assumed has been forgotten. See Hope. The family of the baronet are ancient in Lincolnshire.
