Originally from the Danish name 'København', which means the 'Merchant's port' (Køber = merchant; havn = port). It may have passed via German to English, since it's 'Kopenhagen' in German. (Like other harbour cities around the rim of the Baltic sea there were traditionally a significant German minority in Copenhagen).
