Etymology
This is a difficult name, but we are probably right in assuming that the first element is an OE pers. name Trympa . This would seem to be a form, with i -mutation of the stem vowel, of the pers. name Trumpa which must lie behind Trumpington (C).This Trumpa is probably a pet-form for OE Trumbeorht .Another derivative of this name-stem may lie behind Trimstone (D), Trempelstan in 1238, Trympeston in 1330.
