  1. Pepin is a French surname dating back to 515 and is associated with the clans of Gaul, Europe, especially the Pippinides. The earliest (I researched) Pepin name is Mayor of Heristal, who was the Father of Charles Martel (the “Hammer”) and Charles Martel was the Father of Charlemagne – the Father of Christianity (abt 700-800s) crowned Ruler by Pope Leo, he was King of the Frankish Empire and protected the Holy Roman Church with his armies. The Pepin name came to North America abt 1600s under King Louis XIII to New France (Canada). There are three main Pepin lines in Quebec that populate then migrate through Canada & US. Pepins married indigenous peoples through early exploring and fur trades.
