The history of the last name Coppi

The surname Coppi is of Italian origin, originating in the northern region of Piedmont during the late medieval period. It is believed to derive from the Italian word "coppa," meaning "cup" or "bowl," suggesting the name may have been an occupational surname for someone who made or sold cups.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the Coppi surname can be found in the Stemmario Vigevanese, a historical record of noble families in the city of Vigevano, dating back to the 15th century. This document mentions a family called Coppi di Vigevano, indicating the presence of the name in the region during that time.

In the 16th century, the Coppi surname appeared in the town of Montanaro, near Turin, where a family of that name owned land and properties. One notable member of this family was Giovanni Battista Coppi (1548-1629), a lawyer and politician who served as a magistrate in the city of Turin.

During the 17th century, the name Coppi gained prominence in the town of Castelletto d'Orba, in the province of Alessandria. Here, the Coppi family were landowners and produced several notable figures, including Giulio Coppi (1641-1718), a priest and scholar who wrote extensively on the history and culture of the region.

In the 19th century, Fausto Coppi (1819-1898) was a prominent Italian painter and engraver from Turin, renowned for his landscapes and portraits. His works can be found in several museums and galleries across Italy.

Arguably the most famous bearer of the Coppi surname is Fausto Coppi (1919-1960), an Italian professional cyclist who won the Tour de France twice (1949 and 1952) and the Giro d'Italia five times (1940, 1947, 1949, 1952, and 1953). He is widely regarded as one of the greatest cyclists of all time and is an iconic figure in Italian sports history.
