The name Lipp is derived from the Old English personal names Leppe or Lippe, which are derived from the Old English name Leofa. Occasionally, the surname Lipp may be a pet form of the name Philip, or it may be a nickname applied to someone with large lips or with some peculiarity of the lip.

The motto was originally a war cry or slogan. Mottoes first began to be shown with arms in the 14th and 15th centuries, but were not in general use until the 17th century. Thus the oldest coats of arms generally do not include a motto. Mottoes seldom form part of the grant of arms: Under most heraldic authorities, a motto is an optional component of the coat of arms, and can be added to or changed at will; many families have chosen not to display a motto. Motto: Virtute non vi Motto Translation: By virtue not by force.
