Where did the German Loper family come from? What is the German Loper family crest and coat of arms? When did the Loper family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the Loper family history?

The distinguished surname Loper is of German origin. It is derived from "Loop," the name of a city located in the northern state of Holstein. Alternatively, it may also be derived from "Loope," the name of a town on the Sieg River in Westphalia.

Spelling variations of this family name include: Loop, Loup, Loper, Löper, Loepp, Löpp, Loppo and many more.

First found in the cities of Loop and Loope; it is likely that two separate branches of the families emerged in these two regions. The progenitor of the name is believed to have moved to another region from one of these cities, and was therefore referred to as "Loper." The young Loper family was instrumental during this early period, playing a major role in the development of medieval German society.
