What is the meaning of the name Pop ?

The baby name Pop is a Male name , 1 syllables long and is pronounced /pɒp/ (UK), /pɑp/ (US).

Pop is English in Origin.

Pop carries several layers of origin. In Eastern Europe it reflects Church Slavonic popŭ “priest,” the source of Romanian occupational surnames Pop and Popa and related Slavic forms like Popov; this clerical sense underlies Romanian derivatives such as Popescu. As a modern given name, Pop is uncommon but appears as a brisk nickname in English-speaking countries and in nickname-friendly cultures like Thailand (ป๊อป, from the English word for pop music). In Dutch, pop means “doll,” which adds a playful undertone, while English “pop” evokes sparkle and energy.

Meanings therefore range from “priest; of the priest’s family” to “lively, bright, fizzy.” Variants and relatives include Popi, Poppy (usually feminine), Pops, Popp, Pope, Popa, Popov, and Popescu. Usage today is rare and largely informal - stage name, screen name, or affectionate handle - yet it fits the trend for punchy, unisex monosyllables.
