Etymology of KoppenhoefferWhat does the name Koppenhoeffer mean? The roots of the German surname Koppenhoeffer lie in the former royal duchy of Swabia, now the modern state of Baden-Wurrtemburg. The name is derived from the German words "kapaun," meaning "capon," a rooster, and "hof," meaning "farm." Thus, it was most likely first borne by someone who lived on a farm where capons were raised.
