Name Meaning
Americanized form of German Hempelmann: elaborated form of the ancient Germanic personal name Hampo (of disputed etymology), with the addition of -mann ‘man’, or perhaps a nickname for a restless man, from a derivative of hempeln, hampeln ‘to fidget’. This surname is also found in England.
