The place name Nappa, first mentioned in the Domesday Book as Napars, is of uncertain origin, but possibly derives from the Old English hnæpp ġehæġ, meaning "enclosure in a bowl-shaped hollow".^[2]

Nappa was historically a township in the ancient parish of Gisburn in the West Riding of Yorkshire.^[3] It became a separate civil parish in 1866.^[4] It was transferred to the new county of North Yorkshire in 1974. The civil parish was abolished in 2014 and amalgamated with the parish of Hellifield.^[5]
