Upperdine Family History

Upperdine Surname Meaning

Possibly from Uphampton in Ombersley (Worcs) which is recorded as Uphampton in 1275 and Uponton in 1570. If so, the development of the surname has been influenced by other West Midland names in which the original generic element is Old English worðign ‘enclosure farmstead’ (compare Kenderdine).

The place-name Uphamton derives from Old English upp ‘upper’ + hām-tūn ‘home farm’.
