Pipy is a modern English pet form built on Pip with the affectionate -y ending. Through Pip it connects to the Greek-rooted names Philip and Philippa (Greek Philippos: philos "friend" + hippos "horse"), giving Pipy the inherited sense of "friend/lover of horses." Its playful sound also invites comparison with Pippa and Pippi, two fashionable diminutives with similar cadence.

As a given name, Pipy is rare and largely 20th and 21st century, appearing more often as a nickname than on official registers in Anglophone countries. Cultural echoes include Dickens's Pip in Great Expectations and Lindgren's Pippi Longstocking, which bolster the cheerful, sprightly image. Variant spellings and near-forms include Pippy, Pippi, Pipi, Pipie, and Pip; related formal names are Philippa and Philip. Usage is unisex in practice, though it more commonly shortens Philippa or Pippa.
