English: from Middle English shipen ‘cattle shed’ (Old English scypen). The name may be topographic, for someone who lived by a cattle shed, or habitational, from a place so named, such as Shippen in Barwick (Yorkshire) or Shippon (Berkshire). In some cases the name may also have been used as a nickname for a cowman, who would often have lived in the same building as his animals.
