Upex Family History

Upex Surname Meaning

of uncertain origin. Formally the name appears to be derived from Up Exe (‘settlement higher up the River Exe’) in Rewe (Devon) but there are no early surname forms to bear this out and it would also require migration of the surname from Devon to Northants.

Alternatively it might be a variant of the lost surname Upwick with post-medieval excrescent -s. There is an Upwick (‘the upper dairy farm’) in Albury (Herts) from which Robert and Alice de Upwik 1307 in Subsidy Rolls (Albury Herts) and Guy de Upwyk' 1344 in Feet of Fines (Albury Herts) were named.
