Peppa Origin and Meaning

The name Peppa is a girl's name meaning "Jehovah increases".

Not long ago, Peppa may have been at risk for confusion with the name Pepper. But thanks to the British children's TV series Peppa Pig, Peppa is now a household name. If your household contains preschoolers, that is.

The name is so tied up with its porcine spokesperson that it's been rendered almost unusable for a child. Try Pippa instead, or use Peppa on a pet.
