Etymology

From Old Swedish læpper, of uncertain origin. Perhaps from Old Norse *lep(p)r, derived from Proto-Germanic *lipn-, *lepn-, syncopated oblique forms of Proto-Germanic *lepô (“lip”), from Proto-Indo-European *leb- (“lip”). Alternatively, perhaps from Old Norse *lepr, from Proto-Germanic *lepaz (“lip”), from the same Indo-European source.
