A surname of Greek and Italian origin.
From the Greek, "poly" and "karpos" meaning 'many fruit'. This pertains to 'many children' or 'many offspring' instead of 'many plant genitalia'.
The family crest motif is yellow, black, and red-orange, featuring a large black eagle perched on a red-orange branch, set against a yellow background. The crest is of Greek origin, still popularly used by the descendant of the Pontian Greeks. The eagle, of course, is a symbol of strength, immortality, farsightedness, and courage. In mythology, Zeus often took on the form of an eagle.
Historians have speculated that the name 'Policarpio' derives from Saint Polycarp, once a bishop of Smyrna. Saint Polycarp was known to have many followers and disciples that travelled all over the world, hence the varying locations in which the surname 'Policarpio' are popular (Italy, Spain, the Philippines). His many followers may also explain why he has 'many fruit' because he considered his followers as his children.

Get the angelina polikarpova mug.A power-tripping moderator or admin of a non-descript Gunpla Facebook who kicks everyone who does not fit his ideal of a good member, even if the member did not violate any rules he himself violates for reacting violently to people who questions his rule. Because he has no life outside of being a superpowered Facebook admin, he takes his sweet, worthless time digging among posts and comments to get rid of the posts and comments of people he doesn't like. Also supports Gumpra, or bootleg Gunpla, because he believes one should respect one's decision to support a criminal act, just to have a hobby and daily sniff of plastic dust.
"Luke Hamm just got booted for posting a non-Gundam because the group admin is an Adminicus Policarpius. He also booted a member for supporting real Gunpla, and another one for also being a member of another group he doesn't like..."
