Piperel is English in Origin.

Piperel is a rare English given name with twin roots: a modern elaboration of Piper and a distant cousin of the medieval surname Peverel/Pepperell. The Piper path traces to Middle English piper, “flute player,” ultimately from Latin pipare “to chirp/pipe”; the diminutive -el gives the sense of “little piper.” The surname line comes via Anglo-Norman Peverel, from Old French poivre/peivre “pepper” (Latin piper), once a nickname for a quick-tempered or “spicy” person, or for a spice trader.

As a forename, Piperel surfaces only rarely before the late 20th century, when creative -el/-elle endings popularized it alongside Piper in English-speaking countries. It remains uncommon, used for all genders but leaning feminine. Variants and spellings include Piperell, Piperelle, Pyperel, and the cognate surnames Pepperell and Peverel; elaborations such as Piperella also occur. Possible short forms are Pip, Pippa, Peri, and Perri, while the name’s blended heritage evokes both music and zest.
