Best Answer

Opie is a full name it is not short for anything. There are two explanations of the name's origin. One is that Opie Taylor was named by Andy Griffith after bandleader and radio actor Opie Cates.[1][2] The other is that he was named for Opie Shelton (1915-1999), a childhood friend of Griffith, who went on to become president of the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce.
