MEANING & HISTORY
What does Pipoy mean?
Pipoy is explicitly analyzed as a blend of Peter Paul with oy. Peter has the Greek rock-name history, while Paul comes from Latin Paulus, small or humble.
The local blend preserves parts of both given names rather than forming an ancient phrase about a small rock. Its exact two-name parent is supported by the dictionary.
