Ops is Latin in Origin.

Ops is a crisp theonym from Latin ops, opis meaning resources, wealth, abundance, and help, probably related to opus work and ultimately to a Proto-Indo-European root for producing or being effective. In Roman religion Ops was the earth-and-plenty goddess, consort of Saturn and mother of Jupiter, honored at the Opalia and Opiconsivia festivals; Roman writers often identified her with the Greek Rhea or Cybele.

Used as a given name only sporadically, Ops appears in antiquarian and neoclassical circles from the Renaissance onward and today reads as a minimalist, mythic choice. It skews feminine by association but can be used unisex. The core meaning evokes abundance, prosperity, and helpful power. Variants are scarce: Opis is a poetic form found in Latin and English literature, while nicknames Opi or Opie occur in modern usage. Related equivalents include Rhea and the virtue name Copia.
