Skopów

Skopów is a Polish surname. It is relatively uncommon. Surname etymology in Poland often derives from place names, occupations, or nicknames. It is plausible, though without further historical research difficult to confirm definitively, that the name is related to the Polish word "skopiec" (or its variations), referring to a castrated animal, specifically a ram (wether). Another possibility is a connection to a place name, now possibly defunct or altered, that held the root "Skop-". Further genealogical research would be required to ascertain the specific origin of the surname in each family carrying the name.
