Släkthistoria för Cumpsty
Cumpsty Vad efternamn betyder
possibly from Cunsey (Hawkshead Lancs) with an intrusive –t- and labialization of the nasal /n/ although Hawkshead is quite far to the north and the surname has always been concentrated in the Fylde. A more difficult derivation would be from Compley in Poulton-le-Fylde. The addition of final /f/ or /v/ is due to hypercorrection i.e. inversion of the change which produces Binkley from Bintcliffe.
