"TURPIN. From Old Norse Thorfinnr through French Turpin. Turpin was the name of the second known bishop of Brechin (1178-98). Magister Turpinus witnessed a charter by William the Lion of the church of Foregrund, c. 1165-71 (RPSA., p. 223), and Walter, son of Turpin, 0 exchanged his lands of Kenny for those of Othirlony, c. 1226-39 (RAA., i, p. 262-283). William, son of Turpun, juror on an inquisition concerning the lands of Mefth, 1262 (Bain, i, 2323), may have been a relative of Richard Turpin who witnessed a charter by Bernard de Rippelai in the twelfth century ("Dalian, p. 26). The name appears as Turphin and Turfin in Liber Ecclesie de Scon (p. 37). "(The surnames of Scotland. George Fraser Black, 1866-1948)
