==Origin==
Common use of the Carpenter surname in the English language is seen circa 1275-1325 in Middle English. Its use prior to this time as a surname has roots in the Anglo-Norman French introduced into England about the time of the Norman conquest of England of 1066. The earliest attested use as a surname in English is from 1121,〔( Online Etymology Dictionary ) by Douglas Harper, 2001-2010, accessed April 13, 2010.〕 though its use as a secondary name or description in the ''Domesday Book'' of 1086 might have precedence.
In Old French, the surname was commonly written as "Carpentier" and its earlier form as "Charpentier". Its use as a surname may have derived as a nickname or description of one's occupation circa 900-1000.〔
All of these variations come from the Late Latin ''carpentārĭus'', denoting use as an ''artifex''〔See also Artificer〕 - a wagon or carriage-maker equal to a wainwright. The roots of ''carpentārĭus'' come from the Latin ''carpentum'', meaning a two-wheeled carriage or a form of chariot not used directly for warfare in the community by women and others, plus ''arius'' - used in the masculine form as a noun denoting an agent of use from other nouns. It may be related to the Old Irish ''carpat'' and the Gaulish ''carbad'' for carriage or cart, and is probably related to the Gaulish ''karros''.〔
