Gallup Family History

Gallup Surname Meaning

English (Sussex): nickname possibly from Middle English galop (Old French galop) ‘gallop’ (the fastest pace of a horse) and given to one who habitually rode at speed either through temperament or by occupation as a messenger.

The surname itself has not been found before the 16th century so it may be a shortened form of Galpin (earlier Galopin) which has a very similar post-medieval distribution and original sense.

This form of the surname is now rare in Britain.
