Best Answer

An occupational surname for the person at the manor who dispensed the Lord's provisions to those who lived on his land and worked at his estate. Transferred use of the English surname derived from the Anglo-French espenser and the Old French despensier (dispenser of provisions, a butler or steward who had control of the provisions of a household).

In short: Europe.
