The Coppier family is a family from Savoy that was recognized noble in 1565.

History

The first known member of this family was Jean Coppier, notary in Annecy in 1396.[1]

In 1565 two brothers Pierre and Jean Coppier, sons of Pierre Coppier, notary received from the Duke of Savoy letters recognizing the nobility of their ancestors.[1]

Jean Coppier living in 1658 was a cloth merchant. His grandson born in 1741 became doctor of law and lawyer at the Parliament of Savoy.[1]

His son Joseph Coppier was senator of Savoy in 1829 and re-established as noble in 1829 by letter of the King Charle Felix of Savoy.[1]

This family has nothing to do with an old noble family named "de Coppier" or "de Copier" from Dauphiné.[1]
