As a "non-expert" I would imagine that the family name ["Tapping the"] as the origin of the word "tappert" carrier could come. The designated "Tapper" is the "safety net" which was a knight as protective clothing over the shoulders and chest with it. Already in Johann Siebmachers Armorial of 1605 (ie before the 30-year war), special edition, Orbis Verlag, Munich, 1999, page 209, please refer to "chivalry and nobility of Westphalia" (there is also a "Tappenhof in Westphalia) The name "Tap" and then in the coats of arms is the coat of arms: "The Tapper". (There were at that time no "Plural-S"). In middle-Roman literature were for a long time names with suffixes "s" as "distinguished family name (cf. North, Walden also various derivative" En family name of the city limits, etc.). The family Tappen immersed in the centuries to ever again: for example: ".
