I am trying to find the correct spelling and English translation of "Tupi" the term of endearment that my great-aunt and uncle called their only daughter. All are now deceased. Tupi was pronounced two-pee.
Thanks!

As Kċre says; Tuppe/Tuppa is a nickname for a young girl, directly translated hen or chick.
