Dibel meaning | Last name Dibel origin

The lastname Dibel is the variant of Tipler. In modern times a 'tippler' means a man who indulges freely in strong drink; and 'tipple,' as a substantive, is applied to any intoxicating beverage; thus in Poor Robin's Almanack-
"You may make pretty tipple if so you've a mind't,
With hops and with malt for a penny a pint;
And that's cheaper than you can buy."

Formerly however, a tippler was a seller, rather than a consumer, of such articles. In the records of the corporation of Seaford, county of Sussex, 36th Elizabeth, two townsmen are presented at the quarter sessions as common tipplers (communes tipulatores,) who have broken the assize of bread and beer, and are fined 2s. 6d. The sameyear one Symon Collingham, of Sefforde, is licensed as a Tipler, and enters into recognizances for the good governance of his house, and for abstaining from the use of unlawful games "duringe the time of his tiplinge." Similar entries occur in the records of Boston, in which town the surname of Typler was established in the earlier part of the XVI century. In the corporation archives of Warwick is preserved "The note of such Typlers and alehouse-kepers as the justices of peax have returned to me this Michilmas session. Thies underwriten were re turnyd by Sir Thomas Lucy and Humphrey Peto, esquire." March, 15.
