The Scottish Clan Cooper is one of the many clans that can trace its roots back to the ancient kingdom of Dalriada, which was located on the western coast of Scotland. The name Cooper is believed to have been derived from the Scottish Gaelic word “cupar,” which means “a bowl or a hollow vessel.” The clan’s origins can be traced back to the medieval town of Cupar in Fife, which was an important center of trade and commerce during the Middle Ages.
