Family name origins & meanings
- German (Schlupp) : probably a nickname from a Slavic word akin to Polish słup ‘pole’, ‘column’, applied as a nickname for a tall person.
- Perhaps also an altered spelling of South German Schlupf, a topographic name for someone living near a hole in a hedge or a fence, used as a shortcut, from Middle High German slupf, equivalent to Middle Low German slup, with the same meaning.
