Agripin is Latin in Origin.
Agripin is a masculine given name found chiefly in Romanian and Slavic Orthodox contexts, ultimately from the Latin cognomen Agrippinus, a derivative of Agrippa. The Latin suffix -inus denotes affiliation, so Agripin may be interpreted as "of Agrippa" or "belonging to the Agrippa family." The deeper root Agrippa is of uncertain etymology; ancient authors connected it with difficult or breech birth, though this remains speculative.
The name circulated in late antiquity through Christian hagiography, borne by several bishops and martyrs, notably Agrippinus of Carthage (3rd century) and Agrippinus of Naples, which helped embed it in ecclesiastical calendars. Usage today is rare but persists in Eastern Europe and among communities that honor Orthodox or Catholic saints. Variants include Agrippin, Agripino (Spanish/Portuguese), Agrippino (Italian), and the learned Latin Agrippinus; related feminine forms are Agrippina and Agripina.
