Joppe is Dutch in Origin.
Joppe is a Northern European diminutive built on Jo- names, most commonly Dutch/Frisian. In the Low Countries it functions as a pet form of Jacob or Job (and sometimes Joseph), with the regional -pe/-ppe nickname ending; compare Dutch forms like Jop, Joop, and the Scandinavian Jeppe. In Sweden and Finland-Swedish circles, Joppe appears as a familiar nickname for Johan or Joakim. The spelling also echoes the classical place-name Joppe/Joppa (Greek Ioppe), the port of Jaffa mentioned in the New Testament, which occasionally reinforced its biblical feel.
Its meaning depends on the underlying name: from Jacob (Hebrew Ya'akov) it carries “supplanter/one who follows”; from Joseph (Yosef), “he will add, increase”; and from Job (Iyov), a debated “persecuted” or “steadfast.” Variants and related forms include Jop, Joop, Joep (Dutch), Jeppe (Danish), Jappe (Swedish), with Jacob, Job, Joseph, Johan, and Joakim as formal bases.
