pepin (1086)

The form popyn is a cross reference to the following entry:

pepin (1086)

pepeim,  pepigne,  pepine,  pepyn,  pepyne;  pipin;  popyn;  pypyn  
  FEW:  pep- 8,208b Gdf:  pepin 6,90b GdfC:  pepin 10,315a TL: pepin 7,697 DEAF:  pepin  DMF:  pépin  TLF:  pépin 1  OED:  pippin n.  MED:  pipin n.  DMLBS:  pipina 2288c

The sense ‘small pot, jug’ is also found in Middle English, although it is not clear whether it derives from the same etymon. The surname examples may also be interpreted as pet forms of the personal name 'Philip' (see Family Names Peppin).
