Orpha Origin and Meaning
The name Orpha is a girl's name meaning "fawn".
Orpha, with its Biblical roots and its animal meaning, was once a fairly popular name, but fell from sight around the time of the Second World War, along with so many other Old School Names. And its similarity to the word orphan probably didn't help.
Oprah Winfrey's name was originally Orpah. Today, zero baby girls receive any of these names, including Oprah, which is astonishing given its bearer's fame and popularity.
