Walpole Family History
Walpole Name Meaning
English: habitational name from either of two places in Norfolk and Suffolk. The placenames probably derive from Old English walh ‘foreigner Briton serf’ (genitive plural wala) + pōl ‘pool’ though the Norfolk placename may have Old English wall ‘wall’ as the initial element.
