I have not heard Lopa as a name. lopAmudrA, from lopa (from lup, originally meaning to break and possibly cognate with English reave) meaning abolition or disappearance and mudrA (from mud, to gladden) meaning seal or signet, is a very famous Rgvedic name (A very famous and accomplished woman, author of a few verses of the Rgveda, wife of the sage agastya who had `created' her with his religious power, who was ambitious for herself and who forced her husband to get worldly riches for her sake.)
