Origin Displayed: English

Where did the English Liptrot family come from? What is the English coat of arms/family crest? When did the Liptrot family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the history of the family name?

The ancient origin of this name has baffled and confounded historians for many years. Many ascribe to it a German origin, much later than the Saxon invasion. Demographically this does not seem feasible. They do not look like they are Liebetruts, as Lower suggests. The only reasonable offering we can make is that the surname came down into Lancashire from the English/Scottish border. In the borders region, "trod," or "trot" was the term used for a pursuit posse. The law included both a hot trod (24 hours), and a cold trod (48 hours). It would seem quite feasible that an obscure Border clan or family named Lip or Lipp, an old Aberdeenshire surname going back 1200 in Perthshire, to have adopted the name Liptrod.

Spelling variations of this family name include: Liptrot, Liptrod, Lipptrod, Liptrott and others.

First found in Lancashire where they were anciently seated. It is possible that the surname came south to Lancashire from the English/ Scottish borders through Cumberland, Northumberland, and Dumfries down to Lancashire in about 1570 to 1603.

Some of the first settlers of this family name or some of its variants were: Charles Liptrott, who settled in Maryland in 1676; Elizabeth Liptrapp, who settled in Maryland in 1684; Edward Liptrot, who settled in Virginia in 1715 and Isaac Liptrap, who settled in Virginia in 1772.
