Agrippe is Latin in Origin.

Agrippe is a rare French form of the ancient Roman name Agrippa, a cognomen borne in the Republic and Empire (notably by Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa). The root is probably Etruscan and its precise sense is unknown, though Roman folk etymology glossed it as “born feet first,” i.e., a breech birth. Historically it functioned as a unisex name: Agrippa was masculine, while the feminine developed as Agrippina; French records sometimes show Agrippe for either sex in medieval and early‑modern periods.

Variants and related forms include Agrippa (Latin/English/German), Agrippin or Agripin (from Latin Agrippinus), and the feminine Agrippina (Italian/Russian/Polish) and Agrippine (French). Diminutives from the feminine line include Pina, Pippa, and Inna. The name’s profile was sustained by saints named Agrippina/Agrippinus and by imperial dynastic use (Agrippina the Elder and the Younger). Today Agrippe remains uncommon, offering an antique, scholarly aura with a dash of Roman gravitas.
