Meaning & History

Medieval English name of uncertain origin and meaning. Current theories include a derivation from Old French pavie "peach" and a derivation from Old French Pavie "woman from Pavia", a historic city in Italy. Modern-day scholars theorize that the name of said city might be derived from Italian papia "of a pope".
In modern times, this name has been occasionally found again since the 19th century.
