The Hamper surname in historical dictionaries
Patronymica Britannica (1860)
HAMPER. Apparently from the large coarse basket called in old times a hanaj?er. The Hanaper Office is a place where writs were formerly deposited in baskets, and the original Mr. Hanaper or Hamper may have been connected with that establishment. A Galfridus le Hannper, occurs in H.E. — probably a sobriquet.
