I've had a couple different answers given to the question. One is that it was originally a designation for "son of Robert", "Hob", and hence, "Hop" being the diminutive expression of it. I've also read that the name originated in Germanic territory as "Hoppe" before its move into Anglo territories. Possibly we were beer makers?
