A old family name from Scotland. Derived from "one who lives up-the-hill" Uphill, Hipple, Hopple, Hoople, etc.
Hoople as it is spelled, is a mistake. The mistake and mis-spelling was made when many immigrants came to the US through the Ellis Island entrance, and their names were not accurately recorded.
