What does Opie mean?


I like the name Opie from Andy Griffth show, what does it mean though?

Oliver Paul, hence O.P. shortened to Opie, probably. Interesting question, I wonder if anyone really knows? Gave you a star anyway.

Nickname!! given by dad!!

Why does it need to have a meaning.

I once knew a guy called D.L. The letters didn't stand for anything else-weren't his initials or anything. His name sounded like "Deyell"

Opie could be a version of "O.P." which could be Opie's initials. Maybe his name is Oswald Putman...

It can also be a last name, lots of Irish folk shorten their names like that..... ex. O'Connell becomes OC, O'Pella becomes OP, etc.

Opie (folklorists), family name of husband-and-wife team of folklorists who specialized in the myths and literature of childhood. The books of Peter Opie (1918鈥?982) and Iona Opie (1923鈥?) include the Oxford Dictionary of Nursery Rhymes (1951) and The Lore and Language of Schoolchildren (1959).
