Kyp Origin and Meaning

The name Kyp is a boy's name.

Kyp is an uncommon masculine name with multiple possible origins. It may be a shortened form of Christopher, a variant spelling of Kip (which itself can be a nickname for various names including Kipling, Kipley, or Christopher), or an entirely modern invention. The name has a minimalist, contemporary feel with its single syllable and punchy sound. Kyp gained minor recognition in pop culture through the Star Wars expanded universe character Kyp Durron. The brevity and uniqueness of the name appeal to parents seeking something distinctive yet simple. Kyp remains quite rare in official naming statistics across English-speaking countries.
