History

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, 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.

Name Origin

The surname Carpenter, Carpentier and Charpentier are all variations that come from the Late Latin ''carpentārĭus'', denoting use as an ''artifex''. This related to 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 language ''carbad'' for carriage or cart, and is probably related to the Gaulish ''karros''.

Karen Carpenter
Karen Carpenter Biography Born March 2, 1950 in New Haven, Connecticut, USA Died February 4, 1983 in Downey, California, USA (heart failure caused by chronic anorexia) Birth Name Karen Anne Carpenter Nickname K.C. Height 5' 4" (1.63 m) Mini Bio (1) Born in New Haven, Connecticut, Karen Carpenter moved with her family to Downey, California, in 1963. Karen's older brother, Richard Carpenter, decided to put together an instrumental trio with him on the piano, Karen on the drums and their friend Wes Jacobs on the bass and tuba. In a battle of the bands at the Hollywood Bowl in 1966, the group won first place and landed a contract with RCA Records. However, RCA did not see a future in jazz tuba, and the contract was short-lived. Karen and Richard formed another band, Spectrum, with four other fellow students from California State University at Long Beach that played several gigs before disbanding. In 1969, Karen and Richard made several demo music tapes and shopped them around to different record companies; they were eventually offered a contract with A&M Records. Their first hit was a reworking of The Beatles hit "Ticket to Ride", followed by a re-recorded version of Burt Bacharach's "Close to You", which sold a million copies. Soon Richard and Karen became one of the most successful groups of the early 1970s, with Karen on the drums and lead vocals and Richard on the piano with backup vocals. They won three Grammy Awards, embarked on a world tour, and landed their own TV variety series in 1971, titled Make Your Own Kind of Music! (1971). In 1975 the story came out when The Carpenters were forced to cancel a European tour because the gaunt Karen was too weak to perform. Nobody knew that Karen was at the time suffering from anorexia nervosa, a mental illness characterized by obsessive dieting to a point of starvation. In 1976 she moved out of her parents' house to a condo of her own. While her brother Richard was recovering from his Quaalude addiction, Karen decided to record a solo album in New York City in 1979 with producer Phil Ramone. Encouraged by the positive reaction to it in New York, Karen was eager to show it to Richard and the record company in California, who were nonplussed. The album was shelved. In 1980, she married real estate developer Thomas J. Burris. However, the unhappy marriage really only lasted a year before they separated. (Karen was to sign the divorce papers the day she died). Shortly afterward, she and brother Richard were back in the recording studio, where they recorded their hit single "Touch Me When We're Dancing". However, Karen was unable to shake her depression as well as her eating disorder, and after realizing she needed help, she spent most of 1982 in New York City undergoing treatment. By 1983, Karen was starting to take control of her life and planning to return to the recording studio and to make public appearances again. In February of 1983, she went to her parents' house to sort through some old clothes she kept there when she collapsed in a walk-in closet from cardiac arrest. She was only 32. Doctors revealed that her long battle with anorexia nervosa had stressed her heart to the breaking point. - IMDb Mini Biography By: Matt Patay Spouse (1) Thomas James Burris (31 August 1980 - 4 February 1983) ( her death) Trade Mark (2) Contralto singing vocals Shoulder length brown hair. Trivia (101) In her mid 20s, she was still living with her parents. At age 30, she made a solo album with producer Phil Ramone in 1980, titled "Karen Carpenter". However, it was shelved by A&M executive Herb Alpert. 16 years later in 1996, it was finally released. Was married at the Beverly Hills Hotel in the Crystal Room. On Thursday, December 11, 2003 she, Agnes and Harold were exhumed from Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Cypress, California and were moved to Pierce Brothers Valley Oaks Memorial Park in Westlake Village, California. Agnes, Karen and Harold remained in their original caskets. At 12:30pm PST, they were all re-interred and entombed in a private family mausoleum in the Tranquility Gardens section of the cemetery. Ranked #29 on VH1's 100 Greatest Women of Rock N Roll Sang "Bless the Beasts and the Children" with her brother Richard Carpenter at The 44th Annual Academy Awards (1972). Started out singing in two unsuccessful singing bands called "The Dick Carpenter Trio" and "Spectrum". "A Star on Earth - A Star in Heaven" is written in her mausoleum. Among her friends were Petula Clark, Olivia Newton-John and Dionne Warwick. While being treated for anorexia, she embroidered a sign above her hospital bed that read "You win, I gain!". Attended and graduated from Downey High School in Downey, California. Dedicated her solo album to her brother Richard Carpenter. As of April 2004, her brother Richard Carpenter has made four new Carpenters albums since her death. This is possible by using songs that were left off previous albums and making new albums out of them. He also uses songs that Karen recorded and then later arranges music to accompany them. She did not like the song "Superstar" until after hearing her brother's arrangement for it; she then considered it one of her favorites that the Carpenters had done. The song "Now", recorded in April 1982, was the last song she ever recorded. The Carpenters franchise is very big and popular in Japan. In 1976, she bought a Century City condominium. she gutted two separate apartments and turned it into one. The address was 2222 Avenue of the Stars. As a housewarming-gift, her mother Agnes Carpenter gave her a collection of leather-bound classic works of literature. Collected Disney memorabilia. Songwriter Paul Williams wrote "Rainy Days and Mondays" for her. Ranked #30 on "E!'s 101 Most Shocking Moments In Entertainment History". Her funeral took place on February 8, 1983 at the United Methodist Church in Downey, California. Parents are Harold Carpenter and Agnes Carpenter. Performed and sang for Richard Nixon at the White House in 1972. Attended and graduated from California State University, Long Beach. Was close to her brother Richard Carpenter. Songwriter Peter Cetera wrote "Making Love in the Afternoon" for her. Her favorite Carpenters song was "I Need to Be In Love". Won the 1966 "Battle of the Bands" contest at the Hollywood Bowl. Loved to play softball/baseball and played the drums. Won three Grammy Awards. Had to have surgery on her ear, during the late 1970s, for impaired hearing. Went to Bora Bora for her honeymoon. Her cover version of "(They Long to Be) Close to You" was originally recorded by Dusty Springfield in 1964, shortly before Dionne Warwick recorded it that same year. Dusty's was scheduled for release as a single, and potential follow-up to her No. 3 hit "I Just Don't Know What to Do with Myself". However, it was not until three years later, in 1967, that it finally was released on her album "Where Am I Going?", with the beginning intro cut from its release. During her solo endeavor, many of the demos Karen recorded were scrapped and decided not to be used for the album. Despite the rumor that only 11 tracks were completed and/or used, one more is indeed finished. It is a mellowed-out and heartfelt cover of Evie Sands's 1975 #50 Pop charter, "I Love Makin' Love to You". When A&M Records folded in 2000, it and 6 of out of the 8 demos began surfacing on the Internet. Fans who have heard Karen's version of "Makin' Love..." feel it is probably the best song to come out of her solo sessions. Sadly, it is unlikely it will ever official see the light of day, for many believe A&M discarded of the material when it closed its doors. Another song almost completed (even with backing vocals, but lacking orchestration) is a cover of Vicki Sue Robinson's "Don't Try to Win Me Back Again". Has four nieces and one nephew: Richard Carpenter's five children. After her recovery, she planned to go public about her battle with anorexia. Her ex-husband Tom Burris was a real-estate developer. At the time they met, Tom was a 39-year-old divorce with an 18-year-old son. Karen was 30 years old. Sang "Because We Are In Love" at her 1980 wedding. The song was written by her brother Richard Carpenter and friend John Bettis. The rock band, Sonic Youth, wrote a song about Karen, called "Tunic (Song for Karen)". They also contributed to a 1994 tribute album for The Carpenters. Had her own personalized driver's license plate which was: KAC3. She was portrayed by a Barbie Doll in Superstar: The Karen Carpenter Story (1988) When she was 17, she went on the "Stillman Diet" with a doctor's guidance, and lost between 20 and 25 pounds In 1998, the RIAA certified that "The Singles 1969 - 1973" had sold 7 million units since its release in 1973. This makes "The Singles 1969 - 1973" the Carpenters' bestselling album ever (as of 2005). The Carpenters' second bestselling album is "Carpenters (the tan album)" - it has sold four million units since its release in 1971.
