Name Meaning

English:

probably from Middle English Tolpayn, which may be a nickname for a miller, from Middle English tollen ‘to exact a charge on (something)’ + Middle English (Old French) pain ‘bread’, though the tolls that the miller exacted were on the flour he ground not the bread that was made from it. Alternatively, if -payne is a spelling of Middle English (Old French) peine ‘tax’, it may instead be a nickname for a tax collector.

perhaps a variant of Tapley .
