Epie is in Origin.

Epie is a rare given name that functions as a gentle diminutive in several traditions. In Scotland it aligns with Eppie/Effie, pet forms of Euphemia, from Greek Euphēmía, meaning “good speech” or “well-spoken.” In English literary usage it also echoes Eppie, the affectionate name of Hephzibah in George Eliot’s Silas Marner; Hephzibah derives from Hebrew Ḥefzībah, “my delight is in her.” Some modern bearers treat Epie as a clipped, playful nickname for Epiphany/Epiphania (Greek Epipháneia, “manifestation”).

Usage has been sporadic: Euphemia and its diminutives were widespread in Scotland through the 18th–19th centuries, while Epie/Eppie appears in Scottish records and fiction. Contemporary use is rare and often unisex, chosen for its light, breezy rhythm and cross-cultural simplicity. Related forms and variants include Eppie, Effie, Euphemia, Epiphany, Epifania/Epiphania, Hephzibah/Hepzibah, Efi, and Epi.
