Very common name in the southern Oldenburg/Osnabrück area. Probably
also in Westphalia. Leeden is in the old Grafschaft Tecklenburg just
to the west of the Fürstentum Osnabrück and east of the Grafschaft
Lingen. It was some kind of protestant Stift (a religious trust) as
one of my ancestors was the Amtmann (chief honcho) of the Stift Leeden
in 1765. His name was Johann Heinrich Ludwig Krüger.
Is your Tepe RC or Protestant? Make a big difference as to origin.

There is a lot of Tepe/Teepe in Hopsten. If you find a connection to
this place I think I can find an address for you.

I'm researching the name Toebbe and have often wondered if Tepe was just a
variation of this name I'm looking for. In my local area, old church records
may have listed the person with any or all of the following variations - Tebe,
Tepe, Teppe, Toebbe, Toeppe, Tepper, Toepper.
Can anyone suggest if I should be tracking all these various spellings or is
there something absolutely different between Toebbe and Tepe.

I am also wondering about Tepe, because I find it as a surname and as
well a first name (I think).
TOEBBE (O-umlaut) is a patronymic (correct spelling?) from TOBIAS and
I am also wondering if TEBBE is the same as TOEBBE. In Recke
Westphalen I have the impression that TOEBBE is a different family
then TEBBE, but I am not sure.

All these names are just various forms of given names spelled
differently. Thwese could vary within the family and within
generations or be completely different families. With common names
such as these one is really forced to find baptismal records which
show linkage to father and mother. It does not help to simply look for
names. Tepe is pretty standard and it is one name which does not vary
too much to other spellings. It was simple enough not to wander off
but it could also be spelled Depe or Teepe.

I have also been wondering about TEPE...in this case a suffix, or possible
compound in the surname HAFERTEPE from the Merzen region, near Osnabrueck.
I guessed that is might have a geographic meaning, but that is pure
speculation on my part. I know this family had a farm or estate also
called "Hafertepe". Can anyone help me with the etymology of this
surname? Thanks!

My impression for various villages is that before 1811 the spelling of
a name depends heavily on the official who did it. The same name gets
spelled differently if another vicar,priest,notaris,etc. gets to
church,town,office,etc..

In this area it was quite common for a person to have an alias in
which the second part was his first name. A famous example is the
Bishop of Münster in 1672. His name was Bernard/Berend von Galen and
his alias nickname BommenBerend (Bombing Bernard). So in your case
this Tepe could have been a first name, but it could also very well be
possible that it originates from a farm called Tepe. The people in
the farm would be known by the name Tepe as well and maybe some of
them went by the name Hafertepe to distinguish them from other Tepes.
By the way: Hafer means 'oats'. So maybe your Hafertepe had a
reputation for growing oats.

A guy named Tepe was the architect of many churches in Holland.
The only one I remember is the one in Schalkwijk (little place where I was
born south of Utrecht). This church is known as 'de kathedraal van 't
Sticht'.
If you want, I can look it up and probably give more information about this
Tepe.

My GGGgrandmother was named Christine Elisabeth Teepe. She was born 10
April 1793 in the Lienen/Lengerich area of Westfalen. Her parents are
Johan Herman Teepe and Anna Maria Schoven. Christine married Friedrich
Wilhelm Peters prior to 1824. One of their children, Heinrich Ernst
Peters, my GGgrandfather, came to the US in 1857.
Christine's siblings are:
Johan Herman Heinrich Teepe, born 28 Nov 1787
Johan Ernst Wilhelm Teepe, born 2 Mar 1790
Catharina Elisabeth Teepe, born 15 Jan 1792
Herman Wilhelm Rudolph Teepe, born 13 Mar 1796
Johan Ernst married Anna Maria Elisabeth Schuermann.
I have not noticed any variations in the spellings of Teepe in the
church records of Lengerich. If anyone has ancestors form the
Lengerich/Lienen area, please contact me. I am researching: Aufderhaar,
Peters, Johanntosettel, Sundermann, Hilgemann, Wellemeier, Feldmeyer,
Blömker, Teckenbrock, Huelsmeier, Kettelkamp and others from that area.
