Best Answer

Hopper as a surname has two meanings. The most obvious is that a Hopper is someone who jumps about ( or dances!) on one foot. It could thus be a nickname of mediaeval derivation, referring to one who leaped and danced about in street theatre performances. The other is an occupational name - the Hoppers from Kent, England, especially from around the Dover area, were involved in the production of hops for beer making. A Hopper was thus someone involved in the preparation of hops for brewing - either picking, drying, or storing the hops ready for use in making beer.
