Kipp is English in Origin.
Kipp is a brisk, monosyllabic surname-turned-given name of English and German extraction. In English and Scots usage, it likely derives from Middle English/Scots kip or kipp, denoting a projecting point, crag, or pointed hill - hence the topographic sense “dweller at the pointed hill” or “from the ridge.” In German, Kipp/Kippe appears as a nickname or topographic surname linked to kippe “edge, slope” or the verb kippen “to tip/tilt,” reinforcing the idea of a steep place or sharp incline.
As a given name in the Anglophone world, Kipp came into modest use in the 20th century, peaking in the United States in the 1960s–70s; it sometimes functions as a short form of Kipling. Variants and related forms include Kip (more common), Kipp, Kipps (surname), and Kipling. The name conveys compact, energetic clarity. Note: it is unrelated to the Kalenjin “Kip-” prefix in Kenyan male names.
