Chochokpi is in Origin.

Chochokpi is a rare Indigenous North American given name most often attributed to the Hopi language (Uto-Aztecan). The form shows reduplication and the Hopi plural/collective ending -pi, and is sometimes glossed in modern lists as “prickly; thorny” or “watchful.” Primary lexicons offer little confirmation, so the exact sense is uncertain and may be ceremonial; some sources instead ascribe it to Choctaw/Chickasaw.

Historical use is very sparse and appears chiefly in late 20th–21st‑century name directories rather than earlier records. Variant spellings reflect transcription: Chochopi, Chochokpee, and Chochokpe. Typically presented as masculine, it can read as unisex today. Because the origin and meaning remain debated, families seeking Chochokpi should consult speakers or cultural authorities and prefer community-validated spellings and contexts.
