Cupar

Boy name · 3 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Cupar: 3 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to boys, peaking at 3 births in 2013.

Cupar draws its name from the historic Scottish town in Fife, with its own origins likely rooted in Gaelic or Pictish, possibly meaning “confluence” or “meeting of the waters”—a fitting reference to its position near the River Eden. Though rare as a first name, it carries a strong sense of place and heritage, appealing to those with family ties to the region or a fondness for Scottish geography. The town of Cupar itself is notable as a royal burgh and a market centre since the Middle Ages, and it gave its name to Cupar, Saskatchewan, in Canada, settled by Scottish emigrants. As a given name, Cupar remains a distinctive choice, sharing the same understated charm as other Scottish place names turned first names.
