Flippance Surname Meaning

Probably a variant of the Wilts name Fribbance (see Freeborn) with l/r substitution as shown in Elizabeth Flippence 1824 and Anne Frippence 1826 in IGI (Milston Wilts).

Variation between /b/ and /p/ in the name is attested in Jn. Fripence 1772, Elianor Fripons 1777, James Frippance 1849, and Daniel Fribbance 1859 in IGI (Milton Lilborne Wilts).

Fribbance is recorded earlier than Flippance elsewhere in Wilts, confirming that the Fr- pronunciation is original.
