Hopie is English in Origin.

Hopie is an English diminutive of Hope, the virtue name drawn from Old English hopa “expectation, trust,” carried through Middle English into modern usage. As a given name, Hope rose with the 17th-century English Puritans alongside Faith and Charity, and later enjoyed Victorian and 20th-century revivals. Hopie adds the affectionate -ie ending common to British and American pet forms and conveys a warm, playful tone while keeping the core virtue’s meaning.

As a formal first name Hopie remains uncommon; it is more typically a nickname for Hope in English-speaking countries, though current preferences for homespun diminutives sometimes place Hopie on birth certificates. Variants and related forms include Hope (standard), Hopey (alternate diminutive), and concept cognates such as Esperanza/Espérance, Speranza, and Latin Spes. The name signifies optimism, confident expectation, and steadfastness; contemporary usage skews feminine but it is fundamentally unisex.
