Bamping Family History

Bamping Surname Meaning

Probably a variant of Pamplin with voicing of initial /p/ to /b/, reduction of /mpl/ to /mp/, and substitution of -ing for -in. For the loss of /l/, compare Geo. Henry Pampin born in Hedingham (Essex) in Census 1851 (Welton and Melton ER Yorks) with Thomas Pamplin 1741 in IGI (Hedingham Sible, Essex).

For the voicing, see Bambling, which is another variant of Pamplin and compare Thomas Pamplin 1816 in IGI (Radcliffe, Lancs), Irene Bamben 1819 in IGI (Wigan, Lancs), and John Bambling 1862 in IGI (Royton, Lancs).

The surname has apparently migrated from SE England where Pamplin is recorded in earlier centuries.
