Gips Family History
Gips Name Meaning
Jewish (eastern Ashkenazic): perhaps a variant of Hipsher ; in this case the initial g is due to Russian influence since Russian has no h and alters it to g in borrowed words and names and the final s replaced sh due to the confusion between these two sounds in the Yiddish dialect spoken in Lithuania and Belarus. German: patronymic from a short form of an ancient Germanic personal name formed with the stem geb ‘gift’ as in Gebhard (see Gebhardt ). Dutch: altered form of English Gibbs .
