Upcraft Family History

Upcraft Surname Meaning

from a lost or unidentified place called Upcroft apparently in Norfolk. The place-name may derive from Middle English up ‘upper’ + croft ‘croft enclosure small field’.

As it is by no means certain that the earliest bearer cited below Alan de Hopcroft actually belongs here it is difficult to judge how much weight should be given to the Hop- spelling.

alternatively a Norfolk variant of the Oxon surname Hopcroft.
