The surname Tupper has roots in both England and Ireland. In the case of Irish descent, the name has different origins. It is believed to be an anglicized form of the Gaelic name "Ó Tobair," which means "descendant of Tobair."
The name Tobair itself is derived from the Gaelic word for "well" or "spring." It is likely that the original bearers of the name were associated with a location that had a well or spring, and they took on the name as a way to identify themselves.
During the time of English colonization in Ireland, many Irish individuals anglicized their surnames to be more easily recognizable or to assimilate into the English-speaking society. The name Tupper may have been chosen as an alternative to Ó Tobair during this period.
It is important to note that the surname Tupper is not exclusively of Irish origin. In England, the name has a different etymology and history. It is derived from the Old Norse personal name "Þópr," meaning "Thor + brave." Over time, variations of this name emerged, including Tuper, Typper, and ultimately Tupper.
In summary, the surname Tupper, with regards to Irish descent, is believed to have originated from the Gaelic name Ó Tobair and was anglicized during English colonization in Ireland.
