This suggests that the name could have initially been a descriptive nickname given to someone with a prominent tuft of hair or someone who lived on a hilltop.
As with many surnames, the spelling of Topping has evolved over time. Variations such as Toppin, Tupping, and Topham have been recorded. This can be attributed to factors such as illiteracy and regional accents.

Over the years, the Topping name spread across Ireland, and many Topping families established themselves in different parts of the country. Today, individuals with the surname Topping can be found in various regions of Ireland, as well as in other parts of the world where Irish immigrants have settled.
