Name Meaning
English (southern, of Norman origin) and French: from Middle English, Old French campion, champiun, champion ‘athlete’ such as a wrestler or boxer; also ‘warrior hired to do battle in single combat on behalf of others’ (from Late Latin campio, genitive campionis, a derivative of campus ‘plain, field of battle’). The first sense is probably the more usual source of the surname.
English (southern, of Norman origin): habitational name from Old French Champoigne, Champagne, the name of the French province, or from the derived ethnic name champaignon ‘person from Champagne’. Either of these could develop to Champion in Middle English.
