Trapp is a unique and distinctive given name of German origin, derived from the occupational term 'trapper', which refers to someone who traps animals for fur or other purposes. The name has been used throughout history, with notable figures such as Swiss-born American football coach Joe Paterno, whose birth name was Giovanni Talarico but was later changed to Joseph Vincent 'Joe' Paterno, often nicknamed 'Trapp'. Despite its historical usage and notable bearers, the name Trapp remains relatively uncommon today.
"The name Trapp was quite uncommon until recently, with only 5 babies named Trapp between 2014 and now."
