Piper

Piper is a girl's name, originating from Romania. The name Piper was taken from the Middle English name ‘pipere’, and the Old Norse word ‘pipari’, meaning a person who played the pipe. ‘Pipere’ came from the Germanic ‘pfeife’ which translated to ‘pipe’ or ‘whistles’. Hence, the meaning of Piper is as direct as can be - ‘player of the pipe or the flute’. Every child has definitely heard the story of the Pied Piper of Hamlin. Written back in the Middle Ages, in this well-known story the Pied Piper was said to have charmed the children and animals of Hamelin, Germany, with his magic pipe.
