Coppinger

Coppinger is a surname of Norse origin historically associated with Ireland and the counties of Suffolk and Kent in England.

While there are various spellings in historical documents, after more standardised spellings became established in the C18th the main variant was between Coppinger and Copinger. Whether an individual chose to use one or two ps seems to have been a question of personal preference which thereafter became a fixed tradition in their descendants.
