Piepalius

Cf. Piẽpolis, Piepulis (see) and surn. with pep- (see Pèpalis). All of them are probably of the same origin. These are nickname examples, connected with lit. pi̇́epala „putpelė (Coturnix communis)“, pi̇́epala, pi̇́epala „piepala“ or pi̇́epala „kas silpnas, netikęs, nupiepėlis“ (LKŽ IX 921-922).
