Etymology
'Trump 's farm,' v. ingtūn . This personal name is found independently in a signature attached to the Thorney foundation charter as found in the Thorney Cartulary (ex inf. Dr Schram). In BCS 1297 it is printed from a late Cottonian charter, with the impossible signature Trumþ . It is doubtless short for such a name as Trumbeorht or, as suggested by Ekwall (DEPN), it may be derived from Goth trimpan , Sw trumpen , 'surly,' trumpe , 'surly person,' cf. Nicholas Trumpe (of Great Abington) 1279 RH, and, for the derivative Trympa , Trimpley (PN Wo 252).
