Kiplinger

Kiplinger is a surname of English origin, derived from a topographical or occupational name. It is believed to have originated from the Old English words 'cyppel' (meaning 'market' or 'trading place') and 'ing' (a suffix indicating 'place of' or 'people of'), combined with 'leah' (meaning 'wood' or 'clearing'). Thus, it likely referred to someone who lived near or worked at a market clearing or a place associated with trade. The surname has been in use for centuries, with early records appearing in various English counties.
