History:

Charpe: This surnames spread was likely a mix of people choosing to move and being forced to move. People might have moved to find better jobs or escape trouble, settling down and keeping the name. Forced moves, like those during wars or political unrest, also scattered people with this surname. Where they ended up depended on what happened. For example, if the government moved people, this surname might be common in certain places. If people moved on their own, it might be spread out more, depending on where jobs and opportunities were.
