Last Name TRIPP

Summary/Contribute


Meaning	Local: At the thorp, i.e. a village. Alone or in compounds 'thorp' has run through many corruptions. The son of Tripp, an early personal name. According to tradition, this name was given to Lord Howard's fifth son, at the siege of Boulogne. King Henry V being there, asked how they took the town and castle. Howard answered, "I tripp'd up the walls." Saith his majesty, "Tripp shall be thy name, and no longer Howard," and honored him with a scaling ladder for his coat of arms. This tradition, as well as many others here is not very probable, but we have them because they are curious and amusing, and some of them may be founded on actual occurrences.
