In Reply to: Heslip origin and meaning? by Angela of 128

I have seen this before and it may be the name that the Heslep name derives from, but I'm not an expert, just a guess.
Heaslip

The name Heaslip in Ireland is usually of immigrant origin having been brought into the country by settlers from England, especially during the seventeenth century. The name literally means 'dweller in the hazel valley' and has a number of variants including Haslip and Hyslop. This name in Ireland can today mostly be found in County Cavan and in Munster Province.

Good luck,
Michelle Heslep
