Shepperd is a masculine name that originated as an occupational surname for someone who herded sheep. Derived from the Old English 'sceaphirde,' combining 'sceap' (sheep) and 'hierde' (herder), it literally means 'shepherd' but with a distinctive spelling variation. This alternate spelling gives the name a more formal, surname-like quality while maintaining its connection to pastoral imagery. As a first name, Shepperd is quite rare, never having appeared in the top 1000 names in the United States. It carries associations with guidance, protection, and care—qualities traditionally attributed to shepherds who watched over their flocks. The name may appeal to parents looking for an uncommon name with strong Biblical and historical connections.
