[Surname] Re: Last name. Rapien
in reply to a message by Ros.gib
It appears to be German, not at all common, and probably from a place name. There are places called R@pen and Rappen in Nothern Germany - as near to Rapien as I can find.
The pronunciation in German would be something like Rah-peen.

The @ in the first place name should be an 'a', but the spam filter wouldn't accept the name in that form.
