Northrup

Your search for baby’s name has led in one clear direction, toward the masculine title Northrup! This moniker is perhaps most recognizable as an English place name and last name, though it is sometimes spelled as Northrop or Northrope. As a combination of the elements north and thorp, Northrup means “northern farm” or “northern settlement.” While these phrases might not describe the place you and your little one call home, they could paint a picture of the picturesque English countryside.
