Meaning & History
The name Usopp is a blend of two elements. ‘U’ likely derives from 嘘 (uso) meaning "lie" or "falsehood" in Japanese, while ‘Sopp’ could be a variation of the sound soppu (ソップ), which is linked to "soup" or "soft," though in the context of One Piece, it's more of a unique character construction. The name is a play on the character's tendency to tell exaggerated lies and his sometimes-cowardly nature. Usopp is the sniper of the Straw Hat Pirates and is known for his vivid imagination and tall tales.
