The surname Westropp has its origins in Ireland. The name is believed to be of Anglo-Norman descent, with the first known records of the Westropp family dating back to the 17th century. The name itself is derived from the Old English words "west" and "thorp," meaning "west village" or "west hamlet."
The Westropp family was originally seated in County Clare, particularly in the western part of the county, which may explain the choice of the surname. They were known for their involvement in local politics and for their connections to the landed gentry. Over the centuries, the Westropp family expanded their influence and spread to other parts of Ireland, including County Limerick.
The Westropp surname has also been associated with notable individuals. One such figure is Thomas Johnson Westropp, a prominent archaeologist and historian who extensively documented the antiquities and historical sites of Ireland in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. His work is still highly regarded in the field of Irish archaeology.
Today, the Westropp surname can be found in various parts of Ireland and beyond, as many individuals with Irish ancestry have emigrated to other countries over the years. The name continues to carry a sense of heritage and history for those who bear it.
