EnglandThe surname Cutlip belongs to the large category of Anglo-Saxon habitation names, which are derived from pre-existing names for towns, villages, parishes, or farmsteads. It is thought that this name is derived from one of the following place names: Concliff, county Lancashire, or Catcliffe, a small hamlet in West Yorkshire near Rotherham.
The surname Cutlip was first found in Yorkshire where early records mention Robert de Cundeclif, in the Rotuli Hundredorum in 1246, Thomas Cunclyff in 1411 in the register of the Freemen in the City of York, as well as Joan Cutloff, in Yorkshire in 1512. [1]
John Cutcliffe, Roquetaillade or De Rupescissa ( fl. 1345), was a early Franciscan, a native of Gammage (or, as it should be, Dammage) in the parish of Ilfracombe in Devonshire. "The manor of Dammage is mentioned as having been long the seat of the family of Cutcliffe." [2]
We also found this interesting entry for presumably another John Cutcliffe, or perhaps one in the same, but the dates are confusing: "Considering the antiquity of Ilfracombe, [Devon] its personal relations are singularly scant. Its one notable is John Cutcliffe, whose name was Latinized into Johannes de Rupecissa, a reforming friar of the fourteenth century. He was born at Damage Farm in 1340, and died in prison at Avignon, where he had been cast for his opinions. He was a man of great earnestness and learning, but the
influence of his labours and writings, as a contemporary of Wyclif, were chiefly confined to the Continent. " [3]
