• Notes

  From Rampley.net ORIGINS OF THE NAME I can’t find anything conclusive on the meaning of the name, but it definitely originates from Suffolk in England. The earliest probable trace I have is in Walsham le Willows, Suffolk in the 1283 list of taxpayers, where there is a Walter Rampolye. Walsham is about ten miles from my ancestors’ village of Sapiston. The earliest exact name match I have found so far is from around 1350, where the list of people killed in Walsham by the Black Death included eight Rampleys. I have come across four speculations regarding the origin of the name Rampley: “ram” (the animal) plus the diminutive “ley”, the “p” arising naturally as a pronunciation link between the two a type of soldier, specifically a “drawbridge man” (“ramp” rather than “ram”) French Huguenot origin (perhaps Ramplie) Flemish Let me know if you have any others!
