Yopie is Indonesian in Origin.
Yopie is a Dutch-Indonesian diminutive, most closely aligned with Dutch Jopie, a pet form of Johannes (from Hebrew Yochanan, "God is gracious"). In some families it can also shorten Josef/Yosef ("He will add"), so the name’s meaning depends on the underlying form. The Y- spelling reflects Indonesian phonology and orthography, and the name likely crystallized during periods of Dutch-Indonesian contact before becoming an independent given name.
In the Netherlands, Jopie and Joop are more common, while Yopie has seen steady use in Indonesia and among the diaspora through the 20th century to today, appearing in music and public life. Though rooted in masculine forms, it is occasionally unisex. Variants and related names include Yopi, Yoppy, Jopie, Joop, Johannes, Johan, Jan, Yohanes, John; Josef, Yosef, Joseph; and feminine counterparts Johanna, Joanna, and Yohana.
