Sempers is an English surname with a toponymic origin, deriving from various towns named Saint Pierre in Normandy, France. These places are named after the apostle Saint Peter, whose name comes from the Greek Πέτρος (Petros) meaning "stone"—a translation of the Aramaic Cephas conferred upon Simon by Jesus (Matthew 16:18, John 1:42). The Norman French form of Pierre was brought to England after the Conquest, and the surname Sempers is a result of later Anglicization or reduction from Saint-Pierre. The name has been recorded in English records since at least the medieval period. Related forms include the French St. Pierre and the direct source name Saint-Pierre. Today, Sempers remains relatively rare, with most bearers found in the United Kingdom and former English-speaking colonies, though it may also appear as Semper or similar variants.
