The history of the last name Ipock

The surname Ipock is believed to have originated in England, dating back to the medieval period around the 12th or 13th century. It is thought to have derived from the Old English words "ypecan" or "ypece," which referred to a small stream or brook. This suggests that the name may have been originally associated with individuals who lived near such a body of water.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the surname Ipock can be found in the Hundred Rolls of Huntingdonshire from 1273, which mentions a William Ipec. This document provides evidence that the name existed during the reign of King Edward I.

In the 14th century, the surname appeared in various forms, such as Ypok, Ypoke, and Ypokes, as indicated by records from the Court Rolls of the Manor of Wakefield in Yorkshire. These variations likely stemmed from regional dialects and the inconsistencies in spelling during that era.

Notable individuals bearing the Ipock surname include John Ipoke, who was recorded in the Subsidy Rolls of Worcestershire in 1327. Another prominent figure was Robert Ypok, mentioned in the Patent Rolls of 1428 during the reign of King Henry VI.

In the 16th century, the surname evolved into its modern spelling of Ipock, as evidenced by records from the Parish Registers of St. Mary's Church in Beverley, East Yorkshire, which documented the marriage of Thomas Ipock in 1583.

One of the earliest known Ipocks to emigrate to the American colonies was William Ipock, who arrived in Virginia in the 1630s. He was among the first settlers in the area now known as Surry County, Virginia.

Throughout history, several individuals with the Ipock surname have made notable contributions. For example, Henry Ipock (1671-1745) was a prominent landowner and merchant in the Virginia Colony, while John Ipock (1768-1828) served as a captain in the Virginia Militia during the American Revolutionary War.

It's worth mentioning that the Ipock surname has also been associated with the place name Ibstock in Leicestershire, England, which may have influenced its spelling and pronunciation over time. However, the connection between the surname and this specific location remains uncertain.
