Origin of the Name Tipper

The Tipper family history was found in the allfamilycrests.com archives. include Tiper and Tepper. This is an occupational name from the trade of 'the tipper' one who mounted mazers, drinking horns, or cups with metals. This name is of English descent and is found in many ancient manuscripts in that country. Examples of such are a William le Tipper of County Suffolk who was recorded in the 'Hundred Rolls', England, in the year 1273. A Henry le Tipper of County Bedfordshire was also recorded in the same year in this ancient document. Names were recorded in these ancient documents to make it easier for their overlords to collect taxes and to keep records of the population at any given time. When the overlords acquired lands by either force or gifts from their rulers, they created charters of ownership for themselves and their vassals. In Ireland the name Tipper has existed in the baronies of Naas and Salt in County Kildare since the thirteenth century. This name was also introduced into Ulster Province by settlers from England and Scotland, especially during the seventeenth century.
