Scorpius means "Scorpion" in Latin.

The constellation Scorpius (known as Scorpio by fortune-tellers) is one of the few constellations that actually looks like the thing it is named after. It resembles a crawling thing with a hooked tail and pincers.

What is the popular name of the constellation Scropius?

Well, the is no constellation "Scropius". Assuming you meant "Scorpius" the translation of that name into English is, "scorpion", but I am not sure that that is a "popular name". I generally hear people referring to this constellation as "Scorpius" or "Scorpio" (which is wrong) and only rarely as "the scorpion". If there is another common name I am afraid that I don't know what it is. Of course other cultures called these stars other names.
