Ku’ipo is Hawaiian in Origin.
Ku'ipo is a Hawaiian given name from the phrase kuʻu ipo: kuʻu means “my, dear, own” and ipo means “sweetheart, beloved,” together expressing “my sweetheart” or “my beloved one.” In Hawaiian songs and poetry, kuʻu ipo functions as an affectionate address, so the name carries warmth and intimacy.
As a personal name, Ku'ipo gained visibility in the Islands from the late 19th century through its appearance on traditional Hawaiian heirloom bracelets and in mele, and saw renewed popularity during the late-20th-century Hawaiian Renaissance. It is used primarily for girls but can be unisex. Standard Hawaiian spelling is Kuʻuipo, with an ʻokina (glottal stop) between the two u’s; common modern variants include Ku'uipo (typewriter apostrophe), Kuuipo, and Kuipo without diacritics. Short forms like Ipo also occur.
Ku’ipo turns up in none of the birth registries or name datasets we cover. Such a name is generally either rare, regional or traditional, or a brand-new coinage. By any reading, it's an exceptionally uncommon choice.
