The Coppinger surname in historical dictionaries

Patronymica Britannica (1860)

COPPINGER. ' Copenere ' is the A-Sax. for lover; but a more probable derivation is from coppin, which Halliwell defines as ' a piece of yarn taken from the spindle.' A Coppinger was then perhaps in medieval times' one who had the care of yarn or who produced it. To live like a Coppingek is a Suffolk proverb, which points to the Avealth and hospitality of a famil_v of this name who flourished in the XVI. and XVII. cent, at Buxhall in that county. Gent. Mag. Jan. 1831. The name is found in the archives of Cork so earlj- as temp. Edw. II. B.L.G.
