Etymology

Probably an Iranian origin. Borrowed from Scythian, further from Proto-Iranian *gu-pāna-, *gau-pāna- (cattleguard), from compound of *gā́wš (cow) + *pāna- (protection, security, guard).

According to Boryś Sanskrit गोपायति (gopāyati) and गोपा (gopā) are possible cognates. Root for all words to come from Proto-Indo-European *gewp- (to hide, protect), Slavic word extended with *-anъ.
