==Etymology and population== thumb|left|The Annunciation Church The original name of the village was Casal Prokopju, and is retrieved from the registers of the Maltese militia that existed prior to the rule of the Order of St John. Through generations, the local population corrupted the original name, which was changed to Kirkop. The name of the village comes from the surname of a wealthy family.
