Lapidus (including its variant spellings) is a surname rooted in the Judeo-Christian tradition, specifically from "Lapidoth", which was borne, in the Bible, by the husband of Deborah, and hence probably derived from ''lapidot'', the Hebrew word for torches,〔(Surname:Lapidus )〕 yet is not exclusive to one religion or nationality. 〔 http://books.google.co.uk/booksid=FfYUAAAAIAAJ&printsec=frontcover&dq=Explorations+in+Judeo-Slavic+linguistics&cd=1#v=onepage&q=Lapidot&f=false Wexler, Paul ''Explorations in Judeo-Slavic linguistics''] Brill (Dec 1987) ISBN 978-90-04-07656-3 p.50〕 〔 http://www.natcath.org/mainpage/specialdocuments/lapidus.htm]〕 Lapidus is also derived from the Latin word ''lapideus'', meaning 'made of stone'; 'stony',〔JM Latin-English Dictionary ADJ of stone; stony〕 also from the Latin ''lapis'' meaning 'stone'.〔(Lapidus granite )〕 It could also be derived from the Latin adjective ''lepidus'' meaning pleasant or charming. A branch of the Roman ''gens'' Aemilia was cognominated Lepidus. Marcus Aemilius Lepidus was a member of the Second Triumvirate, with Octavius (later Caesar Augustus) and Marcus Antonius. ==People== *Adam I.
