Drapper is a unique and distinctive given name of English origin. It is derived from the occupational surname Drapper, which was originally bestowed upon individuals who were involved in the trade of draping fabrics. The term 'drapers' historically referred to merchants who sold cloth by the piece rather than by the yard, and thus the name Drapper signifies a connection to this traditional occupation.
