Can you explain to me the proliferation of the name "karen Coppock?" I have found it in many parts of NC and SC and it's almost like a surname sometimes. I know it was connected with the Bush River Quaker meeting but I have never been able to determine the origin or how this name was carried through other families.

Keren Happuch is one of those rare names that identifies the family's religion. Every girl with the name was born to a practicing-Quaker family or named for a Quaker grandmother. Nobody used it except Quakers. You'll find the name in the Book of Job, Chapter 42, Verse 14. The three "replacement daughters" of Job, after all his first family had died, were called Jemima, Kezia and Kerenhappuch. The older established-religions required formal education prior to ordination and expected the seminary studies to include Greek, Latin and Hebrew. The ministers who read Biblical Hebrew knew that the names were part of a parable, and that people did not actually give their daughters those names in Old Testament times. Jemima means "warm and affectionate", Kezia(h) means cassia bark (an expensive medicinal spice, so health-promoting). Both of those names were used frequently--by all religions--in the 18th century. Keren-Happuch means cosmetic-horn, specifically a jewel-encrusted container made of ivory or precious metal to hold extremely luxurious eye makeup such as kohl or malachite. The Puritans and other denominations with seminary-trained ministers drew the line at that one: painted-up women were frowned upon, probably no better than Jezebels. Seminary education for ministers was neither required nor welcomed among the Friends of the day. Had they known that the word had connotations of "worldly, extravagant and ostentatious", they would certainly have avoided giving the name to their daughters! ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kathleen Summers" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, September 25, 2008 4:55 PM Subject: Re: [SC-BUSHRIVERQUAKERS] DNA projects Can you explain to me the proliferation of the name "karen Coppock?"
