The history of the last name Hoppie

The surname HOPPIE is of English origin, deriving from the Middle English word "hoppe," meaning a small enclosed homestead or farm. It first emerged in the early 13th century in rural areas of southern England, particularly in the counties of Sussex and Kent.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the name dates back to 1273, when a John atte Hoppe is mentioned in the Subsidy Rolls of Sussex. This spelling variation, using the preposition "atte" (meaning "at the"), was common in medieval times and indicated the individual's place of residence or occupation.

By the 14th century, the name had evolved into its more recognizable form, HOPPIE. In the Lay Subsidy Rolls of 1334, a Richard Hoppye is listed as a taxpayer in the village of Mayfield, East Sussex. This area, known for its hop gardens and brewing industry, likely contributed to the name's association with hops or enclosed hop fields.

Interestingly, the HOPPIE surname is mentioned in the renowned Domesday Book of 1086, although the spelling varies slightly as "Hoppi." This entry refers to a landowner or tenant in the village of Rotherfield, East Sussex, providing evidence of the name's early presence in the region.

Among notable historical figures bearing the HOPPIE surname, one can mention Robert Hoppie (1567-1632), a prominent merchant and alderman in the city of London during the reign of King James I. Another individual of note is Elizabeth Hoppie (1701-1783), a renowned midwife who practiced in the village of Rye, East Sussex, and is credited with delivering over 3,000 babies throughout her career.

In the 18th century, the name HOPPIE appeared in various parish records and census documents across southern England, particularly in the counties of Kent, Surrey, and Hampshire. One such example is William Hoppie (1724-1798), a farmer from the village of Peasmarsh, East Sussex, who is recorded in the parish registers as having fathered ten children.

Towards the end of the 19th century, the HOPPIE surname gained further recognition with the accomplishments of Sir Henry Hoppie (1835-1912), a distinguished lawyer and judge who served as the Lord Chief Justice of England and Wales from 1900 to 1907.
