Name Meaning

English (southeastern): occupational name for the law-enforcement officer of a parish, from Middle English, Old French conestable, cunestable, from Late Latin comes stabuli ‘officer of the stable’. The title was also borne by various other officials during the Middle Ages, including the chief officer of a household or court, or a military officer, and this may in some cases be the source of the surname.

Americanized form of Dutch Constapel, an occupational name for the chief gunner aboard a ship or in the garrison of a fort.
