Trollope
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The name Trollope is derived from the place-name Troughburn, in Northumberland.[1]
Troughburn was originally Trolhop, meaning (in Norse) Troll Valley, and the earliest recorded use is John Andrew Trolope (1427-1461) who lived in Thornlaw, Co Durham[2]
Another theory is that the name is of Norman origin, and is recorded in the Domesday Book as occurring in Lincolnshire[citation needed].
