Pepin Family History
Pepin Name Meaning
French (Pépin) and English: from the Old French personal
name Pepis, oblique case Pepin (introduced to Britain by
the Normans). Of uncertain origin, it was borne by several Frankish
kings, most notably Pepin le Bref, father of Charlemagne, and remained
popular throughout the early Middle Ages. Reaney and Wilson suggest
that late-formed examples of the English surname may alternatively be
from Old French pepin, pipin ‘seed of a fruit’, and thus
a metonymic occupational name for a gardener or grower of fruit trees.
This surname is also established in northwest Germany, around
Cologne.
