Origin

  1. LatinAgrippa
  2. EnglishAgrippa

From Latin Agrippa of uncertain origin. Possibly borrowed from Ancient Greek Ἀγρίππας (Agríppas) (compare Ancient Greek ἄγριππος (ágrippos)), although this is disputed since the name doesn't appear in Greek sources contemporary with the early Roman Republic, when such a praenomen was popular.
