About the Koppa Surname

The last name Koppa is another written form of Coppa, an Italian family name. In origin, the name means “Cap, capmaker”. Koppa writes “k” in place of the “c” found in Coppa, a common scribal difference. Census takers and immigration officers often wrote what they heard.

In the 2010 US Census, 332 Americans gave Koppa as their last name (rank 60,636).

A coat of arms belongs to a particular family line rather than to everyone named Koppa, so the heraldry linked to Coppa is a starting point, not an automatic right. Want more than a summary? See the Koppa family name pack.
