This surname Tuper is a variant of English: Tupper, or German: Tupper.

Tupper -

  1. English: occupational name for a herdsman who had charge of rams, from an agent derivative of Middle English to(u)pe'ram' (of uncertain origin).
  2. German (Tüpper): occupational name for a potter, from Middle Low German duppe, Rhenish düppen'pot'. This is predominantly a Rhineland surname.

Tuper could also derived from German: Topper.

Topper -

  1. variant of Toepfer.
  2. habitational name from Topper, a place near Krossen, Brandenburg.
  3. possibly an occupational name from Sorbian topár'stoker', or from topor 'axe handle'.

Toepfer - German (Töpfer): occupational name for a maker of metal or earthenware pots, from an agent derivative of Middle High German topf(e) 'pot', 'vessel' (first attested in the 12th century, and at first found only in the eastern German dialects).
