Origin of Ape Total Records: 12  Origin of Ape, Meaning of Ape Origin: The name of Soper is derived from the occupation of its first bearers as 'soapers', that is, as makers of soap. In ancient English and early American records the name is found in various spellings. Families bearing this name were found at early dates in the English Counties of Dorset, Gloucester, Buckingham, Cumberland, Somerset and London, as well as in various parts of Scotland at a later period. These lines belonged, for the most part, to the yeomanry and merchant classes of Great Britain. Surnames: Soaper, Sooper, Sopar, Soper, Sopere, Soperer, Souper Submitted by: Janice Kent Origin of Ape, Meaning of Ape Origin: The name Stapelton (as it was invariably spelt before Richard the Second?s time) is Anglo-Saxon. It means a 'trading village;' 'stapel,' a pile or heap, denoting a place where goods were collected and stored for sale?Dr. Johnson defines it, a 'mart or emporium'?and 'tun,' an inclosure or town. It was appropriate to a village like Stapelton, conveniently situated for commerce, on the border-line between the two provinces of Deira and Bernicia, at a point where the river was passable. But the term 'stapel,' or 'staple,' has long since lost its former signification. From being first applied to the place where goods were sold, it was next given to the merchandise sold there, and is now usually understood to mean the product for which the place is best known. The 'tun' was surrounded by an earthen mound tipped with a stockade or quickset hedge, with a ditch outside, and each township was thus a ready-made fortress in time of war.
