Napier History

The name of Napier has a long and ancient history, being descended from the Celtic royal families of Scotland and Ireland. It has been suggested that the name derives from the “naperer” the officer of the royal household in charge of linen. However, another, and more romantic, origin suggests that a young knight of the Earl of Lennox was honoured for his valour by William the Lion, who described him as having “nae peer”.
