Shapland Family History
Shapland Name Meaning
English (Devon): unexplained. There is a reference to a piece of land as ‘campo qui vocatur Schepeland’ (field that is called Schepeland) from 1312 and such a minor name ‘sheep land’ could have been found widely across England. Alternatively the first element might be shop ‘shed’ with later regional unrounding of the vowel.
