Name Meaning

East German (mainly Silesian): from a dialect variant of Klöpfer (see Klopfer ).

German: nickname for a gossip, from Middle High German kleppern, klappern ‘to blabber, chatter, gossip’.

German: from the rare Middle High German word klepper ‘knight's horse’, probably originally a metonymic occupational name for someone who tended or bred such animals. From the 16th century, however, the term came to denote a low-grade horse, a ‘nag’, and also someone who castrated horses.
