What does the word, “Opry” mean?

Is it a Southern slang term for “Opra”? I personally know older people that would pronounce Opra as Opry. lol

My grandfather was one of them.

What's an 'Orpa'? I've heard of an Orca, but never an Orpa.

Oops. Found it on Google - Oregon Parks and Recreation Administration. Figured it right - it's a yankee thing.
