About the Project

The Cullip Name Study project serves as a collaborative platform to collect information on the Cullip name. The hope is that other researchers like you will join the study to help make it a valuable reference point for other genealogists who are researching or have an interest in the Cullip name.

As a One Name Study, this project is not limited to persons who are related biologically. Individual studies can be used to branch out the research into specific methods and areas of interest, such as geographically (England Cullip's), by time period (18th Century Cullip's), or by topic (Cullip DNA, Cullip Occupations, Cullip Statistics). These studies may also include a number of family branches which have no immediate link with each other. Some researchers may even be motivated to go beyond the profile identification and research stage to compile fully sourced, single-family histories of some of the families they discover through this name study project.

The Cullip surname is thought to have originated in the British Isles. Apparently, Cullip means "an egg fried on bacon" according to etymologist Professor P H Reaney. Its meaning hints that Cullip was an occupational surname describing one who prepares hot food, although some suggest that it was a locational surname derived from a lost medieval place called "Col-hop". In addition, the surname could have described someone who lived in a cool climate in the woods.

Some of the earliest fore-bearers of the Cullip surname (and its other common or related surnames) include John Collop of Cambridge in 1279, as well as Henry Colhoppe of Essex in year 1290.
