[Surname] Lipscomb name
Years ago a high school teacher located a book of semantics for surnames. That book spoke of the first part of the name referring to the family of “Phillip.”
Phillip was a “lover of horses.” Therefore if you were searching for horses, you looked for Phillip in the valley bellow the “Combes” or limestone cliffs
What happened to that information in semantics I wonder.
