Early Origins of the Lopen family
The surname Lopen was 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 "Lopen." The young Lopen family was instrumental during this early period, playing a major role in the development of medieval German society.
