Is Glossop named after Sir Roderick Glossop?

According to Wiki.

The name Glossop is thought to be of Saxon origin, named during the Angles' settlement in the 7th century, and derived from Glott's Hop – where hop could mean a valley,[3] a small valley in a larger valley system,[4] or a piece of land enclosed by marshes[5] and Glott was probably a chieftain's name.
