| According to the Penguin Dictionary of Surnames: JUBB, JUPE & JUPP are part of the inextricable mixture of nicknames of:- 1. Jupe - man’s long woollen garment. 2. Jubb - four-gallon liquor vessel (Middle English.) (both these could be occupational names, metonyms for makers.) 3. Joppe - fool. 4. Job - (first name.) If you know of a different meaning or origin of this surname, send your information for inclusion on this page to genealogy1@sprignall.freeserve.co.uk Distribution of the Jupp name: The best example of this is from the 1881 British Census The graph below shows the main areas of Jupp's present in 1881
CONCLUSIONS:- It’s easy to see that Sussex is the home of the Jupp name. Many of those living elsewhere were born in Sussex, and it’s logical to see the migration into the neighbouring counties of Surrey, Middlesex and Kent.  Return to Home Page |
