Släkthistoria för Epsom
Epsom Vad efternamn betyder
apparently from Epsom (Surrey) but no evidence for a local Surrey or Kent surname from this place has been found. It is more likely an altered form of Empson influenced by false association with the place-name as illustrated perhaps in Joseph Empson 1692 Joseph Empsom 1697 Elizabeth Epsom 1706 in IGI (Saint Dunstan Stepney Middx). Alternatively Epsom and Epson might be pronunciations of Ebbison itself a variant of either Ibbotson or Hebson. Compare Margrett Ebbison 1661 Mary Eberson 1662 Jo Ebbeson 1673 in IGI (Saint Dunstan Stepney Middx).
