Chapman (surname)
Chapman is an English surname derived from the Old English occupational name ''céapmann'' "marketman, monger, merchant", from the verb ''céapan, cypan'' "to buy or sell" and the noun form ''ceap'' "barter, business, purchase." Alternate spellings include Caepmon, Cepeman, Chepmon, Cypman(n), and Shapman. (By 1600, the occupational name ''chapman'' had come to be applied to an itinerant dealer in particular, but it remained in use for both "customer, buyer" and "merchant" in the 17th and 18th centuries. Modern chiefly British slang ''chap'' “man" arose from the use of the abbreviated word to mean a customer, one with whom to bargain.) The Oxford English Dictionary (OED) supplies four meanings for chapman, all of which pertain to buying and selling: 1) A man whose business was buying and selling; 2) an itinerant dealer who travels, also known as a hawker or peddler; 3) an agent in a commercial transaction; 4) a purchaser or customer. (N.B. A “petty chapman” was a retail deale ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Chapman River
Chapman River is a river in the Mid West region of Western Australia. Course The river arises on the Victoria Plateau east of Northampton. It flows in a southerly direction, passing through the town of Nabawa in the Shire of Chapman Valley, and continuing south to about the latitude of Geraldton. It then descends to the coastal plain, turning to the west-north-west and disgorging into the Indian Ocean at Bluff Point in Champion Bay. Tributaries of the river include Chapman River East, Skelton Gully, Una Brook and Rushy Gully. Hydrology Most of the Chapman River's 1,160 km² catchment consists of cleared agricultural land. This land is heavily fertilised and subject to soil erosion, so the river carries high concentrations of nitrogen, phosphorus and chlorophyll a. This, together with the encroachment of urban areas into the river's riparian zone, has resulted in a degraded river system with eutrophic lower reaches. The river generally does not flow in summer, but alw ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
