The history of the last name Chuop

The surname CHUOP originated in the Barycz Valley region of southwestern Poland, near the modern-day city of Wrocław. It first appeared in written records during the 13th century, likely derived from the Old Polish word "chuopa," which referred to a small hill or mound.

One of the earliest documented instances of the CHUOP name can be found in a land deed from 1274, which mentions a certain "Piotr Chuop" as a landowner in the village of Stawiszyn. This suggests that the name may have initially been used as a descriptive surname, identifying individuals who lived near or owned property on elevated terrain.

In the 15th century, the CHUOP name started appearing in various municipal records and tax rolls across the region. Notable bearers from this period include Jan Chuop (c. 1410-1482), a prominent merchant and alderman in the town of Opole, and Katarzyna Chuop (c. 1435-1498), a wealthy landowner and benefactor of the local church in Brzeg.

By the 16th century, the CHUOP surname had spread to other parts of modern-day Poland, as well as neighboring areas of Germany and the Czech Republic. One of the most famous individuals with this name was Jakub Chuop (1525-1597), a renowned scholar and theologian who taught at the University of Kraków and authored several influential works on religious philosophy.

Over the centuries, the CHUOP name has undergone various spelling variations, including Chuope, Chop, and Chopp, reflecting regional dialects and phonetic changes. However, the root meaning and geographic origins of the name have remained relatively consistent.
