Meaning and background
The story behind Coppa
Coppa has a southern Italian surname account built around a drinking bowl. The Dictionary of American Family Names considers an occupational application, or a topographic use for someone living in a hollow. The bowl image could describe either work or the shape of a landscape feature. Those alternatives are more precise than assuming that the surname necessarily comes from the food association an owner might recognize in the same spelling.
- Origin
- Southern Italian surname from coppa, drinking bowl, possibly occupational or topographic for someone living in a hollow. Source
