Harper Genealogy & History
Harper is a Scottish occupational surname for a harp-player, which was an important medieval profession, described in the Brehon laws of Scotland as "the one art of music which deserves nobility." The derivation is from Old English "hearp", and its variations include Harpour and Harpur. Harper family history dates back to ancient times in the kingdom of Dalriada, a Gaelic overkingdom in western Scotland in the sixth to seventh centuries. In feudal times, the Harper family held a family seat (feudal manor) in Lennox, while American Harper genealogy dates to 1607 in Virginia. The Harper motto "et suavis et fortis" means "both pleasant and brave".
