Chipiah is in Origin.
Chipiah is a rare modern given name most plausibly formed in English by pairing the friendly nickname Chip with the Hebrew theophoric ending -iah/-yah, a contraction of the divine name Yahweh. In that hybrid analysis, the name reads as a devotional coinage: “Chip (the child) of Yah,” or more broadly “belonging to God.” Because Chip can itself arise as a pet form of Charles (“free man”), Christopher (“bearing Christ”), or simply “chip off the old block,” some parents also read the sense as “free man of Yah” or “Christ-bearer to God,” though the meaning remains interpretive rather than classical.
Documented usage is very sparse, appearing sporadically in late 20th- and early 21st‑century records, typically in English-speaking countries, and it functions as gender‑neutral. Variant spellings include Chipia, Chippiah, and Chipiya; short forms are Chip, Chippy, and Pia. Comparable -iah names are Isaiah, Josiah, and Zedekiah.
