The baby name Gopi is a Unisex name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced GOH-pee (IPA: /ˈɡoʊpi/; Hindi: /ɡopiː/).
Gopi is Indian, Sanskrit in Origin.
Rooted in Sanskrit gopī (गोपी), the name derives from go “cow” + pā/pa “protector, herder,” the feminine of gopa, yielding the sense “cowherd girl” or “milkmaid.” In Hindu devotional literature, especially the Bhagavata Purana and Jayadeva’s Gita Govinda, the gopīs are the beloved devotees of Krishna; thus the name carries connotations of pure, ecstatic devotion.
As a given name, Gopi is used across India and the South Asian diaspora and functions as unisex: feminine in its etymology yet borne by many men in South India and Sri Lanka, and by women in North and West India. Variants and related forms include Gopī (with diacritic), Gopie/Gopee in Indo-Caribbean communities, Gopika (feminine elaboration), Gopa (masculine), theophoric compounds such as Gopinath/Gopinatha ('Lord of the Gopis') and Gopikrishna or Gopi Krishna, and cognates like Gopal/Gopala.
