Roope

Roope is a Finnish given name functioning as the vernacular Finnish form of Robert, a name of Old High German origin composed of the elements hrod, meaning glory or fame, and beraht, meaning bright. The name entered Finnish use as an adaptation of the Germanic and Scandinavian Robert, fitting the phonological patterns of the Finnish language. It is widely recognized in Finland partly through the character Roope Ankka, the Finnish name for Scrooge McDuck in the Donald Duck comics, which has kept the name familiar across generations. Cognates in other languages include Robert, Rupert, Robrecht, and Röpke.
