Probably an Iranian origin. Borrowed from Scythian *γu-pāna-, 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.
