History & Origin
Poppi is a variant of Poppy, the flower name drawn from Old English popæg, which the Anglo-Saxons borrowed from Latin papaver. Poppy joined the first great wave of English flower names in the late Victorian era, alongside Daisy, Violet, and Ivy.
Poppy has ranked among Britain's best-loved girls' names in recent decades and has begun climbing in the U.S. as well; spellings like Poppi give the cheerful classic an extra-modern wink. The i-form remains rare on American birth certificates. Curiously, Poppi is also a medieval town in Tuscany, crowned by one of Italy's best-preserved castles.
