Coopmans (Koopmans) was a Dutch Mennonite family, originally living at Grouw, province of Friesland. A known ancestor of this family was Rinse Coopmans, b. at Grouw about 1650. He was a butter merchant. His great-grandson Claas Rinses Coopmans, b. 1739 at Grouw, d. 1793 at Leeuwarden, was for some time also a butter merchant and exporter, but in 1772 he disposed of this trade, because he thought that a true Christian could not be a merchant. Then he became a preacher of the Mennonite congregation of Leeuwarden, capital of Friesland. His son Rinse Coopmans, who like his descendants spelled the name "Koopmans," was a Mennonite minister and professor at the Amsterdam Mennonite Seminary.
