Tripp is English in Origin.
Tripp is a modern American given name that began as a colloquial nickname for someone who is "the third" in a family line (bearing the suffix III). The sense comes from "triple"/"trip," and the name has been especially common in the U.S. South as an easy, informal alternative to formal honorifics. It entered wider given name use in the late 20th century and fits the contemporary taste for brisk, one-syllable boy names. In this context, Tripp effectively means "third in line," paralleling Trey.
As a surname, Tripp has older English roots from Middle English trippen "to step lightly, dance," likely first used to describe a nimble or lively person; the Dutch surname Trip is a related form. Given-name variants and spellings include Trip and Trypp; related ideas include Trey and Triplett. While chiefly masculine, Tripp sees occasional unisex use.
