Meaning & origin
Ople is a name that briefly appeared in U.S. birth records during the early 20th century. Its first recorded year of use was 1901, and its peak use occurred in 1908, after which it gradually faded. The name has seen a stable trajectory with no revival in recent decades. With no rank in the modern era and an extremely low 1-in-N occurrence, Ople remains a highly uncommon choice. Its origins are uncertain, possibly a variant of Opal or a diminutive of Ophelia. Because of its obscurity, Ople offers a unique option for parents seeking a name with vintage charm and a mysterious background.
