Lopa is Indian, Sanskrit in Origin.

Lopa is a feminine given name of Sanskrit origin, widely used in India and Bangladesh, especially among Bengali, Assamese, and Odia speakers. It functions both as an independent name and as a clipped form of Lopamudra, the celebrated Vedic philosopher-poet and wife of the sage Agastya, whose hymns appear in the Rigveda. As a modern given name, Lopa rose in popularity in the late 20th century and is familiar across the South Asian diaspora.

Semantically, lopa in classical Sanskrit denotes “elision” or “omission” in grammatical contexts, but in naming it is chiefly valued for its Lopamudra connection, conveying learning, poetic eloquence, and composed beauty. Common variants and related forms include Lopamudra, Lopika, and Lopita; spellings may appear as Lopa or Lopaa in transliteration. Regional scripts include लोपा (Devanagari) and লোপা (Bengali). Informal nicknames such as Lopi or Lops occur. The name is distinct from Spanish Lope and unrelated surnames.
