------------------ I should think the form 'Hypps' is the origin of the many forms of 'Hipps'.dellahoward I am looking for anyone that has knowledge or a website link of the Hipps family from Holland?netherlands?or Wales? Please help me. My great grandmother died and I cannot find the information she had left for our family. Marko Hmm, the name doesn't sound or looks Dutch at all. A little search for Hipps family members in the Netherlands turned up nothing. No, I think it's more an English name.
Btw. Holland and Netherlands are two names for the same country of which the first is more popular and the second more accurate.

Visit my website at http://www.castles.nl/Peter Sorry to take so long in posting something for you .. just been a busy week.
Have not found any connections with the name here in Wales. Although the names Happs & Hepps exist.
I did find one in the Netherlands;
C.H. Hipp, born 1787, Hoorn, N-lln.
Also Hepp and Hupp.
The name does occur in many places in the U.K. But is strongest in the more southern counties.dellahoward Thank you for your response. What would be the dutch translation for hipps? Peter Hm !
As I took the information from a site dedicated to Dutch names .. that might be it.
Came across this whilst looking for something else in the week;
Hippis, John (Hypps) (1515), Marbler of Lincoln; on April 6th 1515 contracted to make a tomb for John Willoughby, son of Sir Henry Willoughby, in Woolaton Church, Notts. for £5. 6s 8d. It was apparently to be of alabaster, bearing brasses.dellahoward WOW! Where did you get this info and how can i get more? Peter The info was from a specialised book;
English Medieval Architects, by John Harvey.
Published by Alan Sutton, 1987.
A huge, rather boring tome, that does contain many snippets of information. A change from counting sheep I assure you. Marko There is no dutch translation for the name Hipps. The word hips is only used to describe the sound a drunken person makes whose got the hiccups ;-) dellahoward So Peter, what do you think of Marko's translation? Peter Naughty dellahoward, but I like your style !
We are at Marko's mercy here I think. But if I recall Marko's profession .. I should he's met a few of them ... right ?
