Tippel History, Family Crest & Coats of Arms

Origins Available:
England

The surname Tippel was first brought to England in the wake of the Norman Conquest of 1066. The name is derived from a common continental personal name, rendered as "Theobald," "Teobaud," or "Thiebaut" in Old French, and as "Theudobald" or "Thiotbald" in Old Germanic, all composed of two elements meaning "people" and "bold" respectively. The modern English surname "Theobald" is a learned form of this ancient personal name.

"In the 13th century century Tibbe was used as a pet-name for both men and women, from Isabel or Tibald (Theobald). The latter interchanged with Tebbe." 1

Early Origins of the Tippel family

The surname Tippel was first found in the Domesday Book of 1086; several bearers of Tippel as a personal name were recorded as landowners after the Norman Conquest, particularly in Huntingdonshire, Cambridgeshire, and Suffolk. The first recorded instance as a surname occurred in 1199, where Tomas Teobald was living in Gloucestershire.

Theobald or Tedbaldus (d. 1161), was Archbishop of Canterbury and came of a Norman family of knightly rank who settled near Thierceville, in the neighbourhood of Bec Hellouin. "He became a monk of Bec between 1093 and 1124, was made prior in 1127, and elected abbot in 1137. The see of Canterbury having been vacant since the death of William of Corbeil in 1136, the prior of Christ Church and a deputation of monks were summoned before King Stephen and the legate Alberic, and on 24 Dec. 1138 elected Theobald archbishop.
