Bishopp Origin and Meaning

The name Bishopp is a boy's name.

Bishopp is an uncommon masculine name that originated as an English surname, derived from the occupational title 'bishop' (from Old English 'biscop'). The distinctive double 'p' spelling represents a historical variant found in certain family lines, particularly in England. As a given name, Bishopp is extremely rare, likely chosen by parents seeking a distinctive name with ecclesiastical or ancestral connections. While the occupational surname Bishop has occasionally transitioned to first name usage, the Bishopp variant is even more unusual. The name carries connotations of spiritual leadership, dignity, and connection to religious heritage. Its rarity makes it a bold choice that stands out while still maintaining recognizable English linguistic roots.
