Lysippe is Greek in Origin.
Lysippe is a rare female name from Ancient Greek Λυσίππη (Lysíppē), built from lysi-/lyo “to loosen, release, set free” and hippos “horse,” yielding the evocative sense “horse‑unbridler,” “releaser of horses,” or more broadly “she who brings freedom.”
It appears in Greek myth for several figures: an Amazon warrior, a Danaid, and a Proetid princess cured of madness by Melampus. Though scarcely used as a given name in later antiquity or the medieval world, it re‑emerged sporadically in Renaissance humanist texts and today remains a striking, seldom‑heard choice with a classical aura. Variants and related forms include the Greek/Latin Lysippe (standard) and the Romance transliteration Lisippe/Lisippe; the masculine counterpart is Lysippos/Lysippus, famous as the 4th‑century BCE sculptor. Possible modern short forms are Lys and Lysa.
Lysippe does not appear in any of the birth registries or name datasets we track. This usually means it's either extremely rare, a regional/traditional name not captured by official statistics, or a brand-new coinage. Use it knowing your child will almost certainly be the only one in the room.
