Old Photograph Knapp Scotland
Old photograph of cottages in Knapp, Perthshire, Scotland. The surname Knapp, Napp, Knappe, Knappen, Knapman and Napman, is an English surname with two possible origins. The first is locational from a number of places called Knapp in Devon, Hampshire and Surrey, England, deriving from the Old English pre 7th century word " cnoepp " meaning a hilltop. The name was originally given to a person living dwelling on a hilltop, or hillock or to the Lord of the Manor as in Henry de Cnappe, recorded in Devonshire in the year 1301. Secondly the name may have been a status name for a servant or squire.
