== English name origin ==
The name seems to be derived from ''North Hope'', to distinguish it from the nearby village of Hope, which has also been known as East Hoped.
Another source claims the name originates from ''North'' and ''Thorpe'', the latter word meaning village or town in the Saxon language. Written in ancient records as ''Northorpe'', the name ''Northop'' was in use after the surrender of Chester to Egbert of Wessex, circa AD 828, when Flintshire was brought under Saxon rule.
