Humpherson Family History
Humpherson Name Meaning
from the Middle English and Norman French personal name Humfrey (see Humphrey ) + the patronymic marker -son. perhaps from Humphreston in Donington (Shrops) with loss of -t- from the surname. The origin of the place-name cannot be certain without a greater number of medieval forms. Some of the bearers under (1) may belong here.
