A Dictionary of English and Welsh Surnames (1896) by Charles Wareing Endell Bardsley

The common French Chopin [prob. from Latin caupo, ‘a small shopkeeper,’ with French diminutive suff. -in; but Larchey (Dict. des Noms) connects with French chopper, ‘to stumble, trip up', and says it is a name for a cripple: we certainly find chopin in Godefroy’s Dict. of Old French with the meaning ‘violent blow capable of upsetting’]
