The prevalence of surnames connected with the word "cooper" illustrate the importance of this specialist trade in the Middle Ages. There are seven forms of the surname in the modern idiom: Cooper, Copper, Coupar, Coope, Coop, Cupper and Coupe. One 'Edwarde Coope' was baptised in London in 1588. The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of Robert le Cupere. which was dated 1176-7, in the "Pipe Rolls of Surrey". during the reign of King Henry 11, known as "The Builder of Churches" 1154 - 1189.
