Poupak is Persian in Origin.

Poupak is a Persian feminine given name from Persian پوپک (transliterated Pūpak/Poopak), a common noun for a small bird or fledgling. In Persian literature, pūpak evokes the image of a tender songbird and serves as a term of endearment, so the name carries meanings such as little bird, fledgling, beloved, and delicate. Some speakers also link it to pak “pure,” reinforcing innocence, though that connection is best seen as folk etymology rather than a proven root.

As a given name, Poupak gained currency in Iran in the 20th century, inspired by classical bird imagery, and continues among Persian-speaking communities in Iran and the worldwide diaspora. Spelling varies with transliteration: Poopak (most common), Poupak (French-influenced), Pupak, and Popak. Usage is almost exclusively feminine.
