- Based on the following sources:
- Hanks, Patrick, editor (2003), “Greenup”, in Dictionary of American Family Names, volume 2, New York City: Oxford University Press, →ISBN, page 81.
- Hanks, Patrick, editor (2003), “Greenough”, in Dictionary of American Family Names, volume 2, New York City: Oxford University Press, →ISBN, page 81.
- Hanks, Patrick, editor (2003), “Greenhow”, in Dictionary of American Family Names, volume 2, New York City: Oxford University Press, →ISBN, page 80.
- It seems like the etymologies are different. In particular, Greenup is equivalent to green + hope (valley), while Greenough is equivalent to green + how (mound, hill). 70.172.194.25 19:30, 22 February 2022 (UTC)
