Chipp is English in Origin.

Chipp is a modern English masculine nickname‑turned‑given name. It comes from Chip, long used in the U.S. as a pet name for boys named Charles or Christopher, or for a “Junior” as in a “chip off the old block.” The double‑p spelling personalizes the form and also matches the rare English surname Chipp, from Middle English chip “splinter, wood shaving,” an occupational byname for a carpenter.

As a stand‑alone name, Chip rose in mid‑20th‑century America, seen in collegiate culture and public figures like “Chip” Carter; Chipp is the less common variant. Related forms include Chip (standard), Chipper, and Chippy (informal), with the bases Charles and Christopher in full. Meanings therefore range from “free man” (Charles) and “bearer of Christ” (Christopher) to the informal sense of “junior/son.”
