Cultural & Spiritual notes
The name Culpepper was of English origin and literally meant 'lager-maker', as the person whose name it bore may have brewed and sold beer in the bustling local fairs.
The name's etymology ultimately comes from the Old English 'cald' for 'cool' and 'peoer' for 'people'. Thus, 'Culpepper' could be interpreted as 'the cool one among the people', reflecting the calming influence of the Goddesses Freya or Hera in times of dispute.
