Kieper Family History
- Kieper Name Meaning
- from the medieval personal name Kiepert, an altered form of Gebhardt. It has also been suggested that it is from an agent derivative of Low German Kiep(e), which denotes a basket designed to be carried slung across the back, hence an occupational name for a basket maker or peddler.
