Meaning & Origin
Tzippy is a girl's baby name of Hebrew origin, a Yiddish diminutive of Tzipporah — the Hebrew name meaning 'bird' (particularly a small songbird or sparrow). In the Torah, Tzipporah was the wife of Moses. The affectionate -py ending belongs to the warm, intimate Yiddish diminutive tradition cherished in Ashkenazi and Hasidic communities, where such forms remain in everyday use.
