Best Answer

The surname Pope can be a variant of the North German surname Poppe. It could have also have originated from the early Chrisitian Church when the title "Pope" was a title of respect used for ALL male clergy. Soon it was reserved for only Bishops, and then later on it was reserved for the title of the Bishop of Rome.
