Pepa
p(e)-pa
Origin:Czech
Meaning:God will increase, God will add; Crown, that which surrounds
Pepa is a unique gender-neutral name. Tracing back to both Czech and Spanish origins, Pepa has the lovely meanings of “God will add” or “God will increase” from the Hebrew title Joseph. This message of prosperity and abundance is one that baby can carry with them throughout their life. Pepa can also be used as a nickname for Stjepan, the Croatian and Serbian form of Stephen, which means “crown” or “that which surrounds.” In the future, your little one might look up to famous Spanish artist Pepa Poch as inspiration, or jam out to some iconic Salt-N-Pepa tunes. No matter what, this name is sure to bring a lot of joy to baby—and you!
