Kotipa

Kotipa is a Finnish surname. Surnames in Finland, including Kotipa, often originated from descriptive features, occupations, or places. Due to the relatively standardized nature of Finnish surnames today, determining the specific etymology of "Kotipa" without genealogical research or historical context is difficult. It may refer to a place name, a characteristic of an ancestor's home (related to "koti," meaning home), or some other, now less obvious, origin. Genealogical records and local historical societies in Finland would be the best resources for uncovering the surname's specific meaning and history. Kotipa as a surname is not very common in Finland.
