The surname Alsop has its origins in Ireland and is believed to be of Anglo-Norman descent. It is derived from the place name Alsup, which can be traced back to the Old English word "ealh" meaning "temple" or "hall," and the Old Norse word "hop" meaning a "small enclosed valley" or "a small hill." In Ireland, the surname Alsop is predominantly found in County Kildare, where the family had settled during the Anglo-Norman invasion in the 12th century.
During this period, many English and Anglo-Norman families migrated to Ireland, bringing their surnames and establishing themselves as landed gentry. The Alsop family, being of noble origin, played an active role in the administration and governance of the region. They held lands and titles, and their influence extended beyond County Kildare.
Over time, the Alsop surname spread to other parts of Ireland as the family expanded and intermarried with other Irish families. However, due to various historical factors, including the Great Famine and emigration, the presence of the Alsop surname in Ireland diminished significantly.
Today, individuals with the surname Alsop of Irish descent can be found in different parts of the world, particularly in countries with a significant Irish diaspora. The surname continues to be a reminder of the family's ancestral connection to Ireland and their historical significance in the region.
