Kaplan Genealogy & History
Kaplan is a diverse name that shows up in England, Germany, and Ashkenazi Jewish cultures, among others. Most of these are derived from the Latin word "capellanus", a title given to those who watched over the sacred cloak ("capella") of St. Martin of Tours. This then morphed into "Kaplan", which meant "chaplain" in German and Yiddish and "priest" in Polish. Hence, Kaplan probably originated as an occupational surname given to people who worked as priests, whether Christian or Jewish. Kaplan family history is first recorded in Hampshire, where a William Capelein lived in 1203. Kaplan genealogy includes Stanley Kaplan, founder of the standardized test prep company Kaplan, Inc.
