Culpepper

The Noble Tribe of Culpepper in North America. The origins of the Culpepper surname lie with the Anglo-Saxon tribes of Britain. The name Culpepper began when someone in that family worked as a spicer. The name is derived from two Old English elements, cul and pepper. It meant "pepper gatherer." [1] As spices were rare and expensive in the medieval period, this would have been a valued occupation.
