Of Germanic origin, from the root *lipjā. One common interpretation is that the Romanized form reflects a folk etymological adaptation to Latinlupus(“wolf”).
The Germanic root is linked to verbs describing the river's flow characteristics, related to *sleupan(“to creep, sneak”). Supporting evidence includes Old High Germansliofan, glossed as lūbricus(“slippery, smooth”) in Latin. Variants with and without s-mobile may represent parallel developments of the same root.[1]
