English: nickname from Middle English lamprey ‘lamprey’ (Old English lamprede), an eel-like fish which was a highly prized food among the upper classes in medieval England, especially in pies, and required as payment of rent by some lords of manors. The nickname may have been given to someone who provided lampreys for the lord's table or who resembled a lamprey, perhaps a slippery fellow or a lecher.
