English (Dorset and Somerset): habitational name from a place so called in Wootton Fitzpaine, Dorset, recorded as Gupehegh in Middle English. This is named with the Old English personal name Guppa (a short form of Gūthbeorht ‘battle bright’) + (ge)hæg ‘enclosure’.
History: The earliest known bearer of the name is Nicholas de Gupehegh (Somerset, 1253/4). Most if not all present-day bearers of the name are thought to descend from William Guppy of Chardstock, Devon, who in 1497 was fined forty shillings for his alleged part in the rebellion of Perkin Warbeck.
