The surname Kippen is of Irish descent and has an interesting history. It is derived from the Gaelic name Mac Giolla Chéimín, which means "son of the servant of St. Caimin." The name Caimin refers to a 7th-century Irish saint who was known for his piety and dedication to the church.
The Kippen family can trace its roots back to County Clare in western Ireland, where they were originally a sept (clan) of the larger Dál gCais tribe. The Dál gCais were a powerful and influential group in medieval Ireland, with their own kings and a strong warrior tradition.
As the Kippen family expanded and spread throughout Ireland, they became involved in various professions and trades. Some became farmers, while others pursued careers in the clergy or became skilled craftsmen. The surname Kippen became more Anglicized over time, with variations such as Kippen, Kippin, and Kippins appearing.
During the Irish diaspora in the 19th century, many Kippen families emigrated to other countries, particularly to the United States, Canada, and Australia, in search of better opportunities. Today, the surname Kippen can still be found in these countries, as well as in Ireland itself, where the name has remained relatively common in certain areas.
