Kippi is a modern, rarely used given name in English, most often an affectionate elaboration of Kip/Kipp. Those root forms derive from several European surnames: Dutch Kip, meaning “hen/rooster”; German Kipp/Kippe, linked to an “edge or crag”; and English topographic or nickname sources sometimes associated with a pointed hill. The playful -i ending gives Kippi a light, youthful tone. Variants and related forms include Kip, Kipp, Kippy, Kippie, and, by extension, Kipling.

As a given name, Kippi appears in records from the mid- to late-20th century and remains uncommon, used for both girls and boys. Parents often choose it for its brisk, upbeat sound and compact friendliness. Meanings inferred from its surname origins range from “rooster” to “one who lives by the ridge.” Unrelated but phonetically similar, Finnish kippi (“tilt”) and the toast kippis sometimes color its modern, international vibe.
