Etymology 1
de gem-pro ine-pro
An originally Low and Central German form (though not in all dialects of the latter). From de gml lippe and northern de gmh lippe, from de goh *lippa, from de gmw-pro *lippjō.
One reason for the form’s prevailing in modern standard German was its use in Luther’s Bible translation. It gradually reduced Upper German de Lefze to a marginal role (now chiefly “lip of a predator”, but rare).

Etymology 2
de place
The original is the river Lippe, giving name to the House of Lippe in the town of de Lippstadt. They expanded their dominion to the east but in modern times only owned the exclaves of de Cappel and de Lipperode in the origin area (incorporated into Lippstadt with effect from 1975).
The hydronym, given it is in a settlement area only recorded as Germanic, is derived from de gem-pro *Lipjō, which appears to reflect a zero grade of a verb related to gem-pro *slīpaną to slide in reference to the river’s smooth course.
