Joppa

US Popularity Rank: None

Origin: Hebrew

Meaning: Beautiful

Spiritual and inspiring, Hebrew names have a knack for healing the heart. Joppa, a girl’s name drawn from the word yapa for “beautiful,” is just one of them. While Joppa isn’t as popular as other Hebrew hits, some may recognize it as a place name or for its ties to well-known biblical figures like Jonah, Dorcas, and Peter the Apostle. It’s a lovely choice for any little stunner, and with such an eccentric look and sound, it definitely jumps out from other “J” names.
