Ripplie is in Origin.

Ripplie is a modern English given name, most plausibly a creative spelling of the surname-based Ripley or a diminutive twist on Ripple. Ripley derives from English place-names formed from Old English ripel (“strip of land”) + lēah (“wood, clearing, meadow”), giving the sense “clearing by a strip of land.” By sound and association, Ripplie also echoes ripple, the English word for small waves - an image often linked with calm, movement, and radiating impact.

As a given name, Ripplie is rare and recent, fitting the contemporary trend of surname and nature-adjacent choices. Usage is largely Anglophone and unisex, with a slight modern tilt toward girls. Variants and related forms include Ripley, Riply, Riplee, Ripleigh, and Ripple; informal nicknames such as Rip or Rippie appear. Cultural visibility for the root name Ripley - bolstered by literature and film - has helped Ripplie feel both edgy and approachable.
