The history of the last name Artrip

The surname Artrip has its origins in England, likely emerging in the late medieval period around the 14th or 15th century. It is believed to be a locational surname derived from a place name, possibly from a locality known as "Artharp" or a similar variation.

The name may have originated from the Old English words "arth" meaning a plowed field or plowman, and "hop" referring to a small enclosed valley or low ground. This suggests the earliest bearers of the name may have resided near or worked on a plowed field situated in a small valley.

While no definitive historical records or manuscripts from the era directly reference the Artrip name, similar spellings such as Arthrope, Arthorpe, and Arttrop can be found in various parish records and tax rolls from the 16th and 17th centuries in counties like Yorkshire and Lincolnshire. One of the earliest recorded instances of the name is found in the Subsidy Rolls of Yorkshire from 1524, which lists a John Arthrope as a resident.

As with many surnames, the spelling of Artrip has evolved over time, with variations like Artripp, Artripp, and Artript appearing in historical documents. This fluidity in spelling was common until more standardized record-keeping practices were established in the 18th and 19th centuries.
