The history of the last name Jipping

The surname Jipping is believed to have originated in the Netherlands during the 16th century. It is thought to be derived from the Dutch word "jippen," which means "to cheat" or "to deceive." This could suggest that the name was initially given as a nickname or descriptive name to someone who was known for their deceitful or dishonest behavior.

One of the earliest recorded references to the name Jipping can be found in the Dutch census records from the city of Amsterdam in the late 1500s. The name is listed as "Jyppingh," which was likely an earlier spelling variation of the modern surname.

Throughout the 17th and 18th centuries, the Jipping name appeared in various historical records across the Netherlands, particularly in the provinces of North Holland and South Holland. Some notable individuals bearing this surname during this period include Jan Jipping (1620-1688), a Dutch merchant and trader who established successful business ventures in the East Indies, and Pieter Jipping (1674-1732), a renowned painter from the city of Haarlem known for his landscapes and seascapes.

As the Dutch began to establish colonies and trade routes across the globe, the Jipping name eventually spread to other parts of the world. In the late 18th century, records show a branch of the Jipping family settling in the Cape Colony (modern-day South Africa), where they became involved in the local wine industry.

One of the most prominent historical figures with the Jipping surname was Jacob Jipping (1796-1876), a Dutch-South African explorer and cartographer. He is credited with mapping and surveying vast areas of the South African interior, including the Orange Free State and the Transvaal region. His detailed maps and journals provided invaluable information for further exploration and settlement in these regions.

Another notable individual was Hendrik Jipping (1822-1896), a Dutch-born businessman who emigrated to the United States in the mid-19th century. He established a successful trading company in New York City, dealing in various goods imported from the Netherlands and other European countries.

In the 20th century, the Jipping name continued to appear in various parts of the world, with descendants of the original Dutch families spreading across Europe, North America, and other regions. Some examples include Pieter Jipping (1901-1978), a Dutch-Canadian architect who designed several notable buildings in Vancouver, and Gerrit Jipping (1925-2003), a Dutch-American writer and journalist who worked for several prominent publications during his career.
