Where did the English Coupal family come from? What is the English Coupal family crest and coat of arms? When did the Coupal family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the Coupal family history? Coupal is a name that was formed by the Anglo-Saxon society of old Britain. The name was thought to have been used for someone who once worked as a cooper, a person who made and repaired barrels, casks, and buckets. It was a trade highly valued in the Middle Ages, as the construction or waterproof containers was no easy task with the tools of the time.Until the dictionary, an invention of only the last few hundred years, the English language lacked any comprehensive system of spelling rules. Consequently, spelling variations in names are frequently found in early Anglo-Saxon and later Anglo-Norman documents. One person's name was often spelled several different ways over a lifetime. The recorded variations of Coupal include Cooper, Cowper, Couper, Coupar and others. First found in Sussex where they held a family seat from very ancient times, some say well before the Norman Conquest and the arrival of Duke William at Hastings in 1066 A.D.

Thousands of English families boarded ships sailing to the New World in the hope of escaping the unrest found in England at this time. Although the search for opportunity and freedom from persecution abroad took the lives of many because of the cramped conditions and unsanitary nature of the vessels, the opportunity perceived in the growing colonies of North America beckoned. Many of the settlers who survived the journey went on to make important contributions to the transplanted cultures of their adopted countries. The Coupal were among these contributors, for they have been located in early North American records: Coupal Settlers in the United States in the 18th Century
