Pepyn is Dutch in Origin.

Pepyn is a Dutch/Frisian spelling of Pepijn, the Low Countries cognate of the early medieval Frankish name Pippin. The name entered European history through powerful nobles and kings, notably Pepin of Herstal and Pepin the Short, father of Charlemagne, which cemented its prestige in Merovingian and Carolingian circles. The English form became Pippin, while French kept Pépin; Latinized records show Pipinus. In the Netherlands and Flanders the name has enjoyed a modern revival, with Pepyn offering a distinctive y-ornament to the common Pepijn.

Its exact meaning is uncertain; scholars link it to a Frankish/Germanic root of obscure sense, with proposals ranging from "vigorous" to "to tremble," none conclusive. Do not confuse it with the English word pippin (apple), from Old French pepin "seed." Variants and nicknames include Pepijn, Pepin/Pépin, Pippin, Pipin; short forms Pep, Pip, and Pin. In Spanish, Pepín is usually a nickname for José.
