The name may have been popularised by Robert Browning's poem Pippa Passes.
English: contracted pet form of Philippa, now quite commonly used as an independent given name. It was popularized in the 19th century by Browning's narrative poem Pippa Passes (1841), in which the heroine is a child worker in an Italian silk-mill, whose innocent admiration of ‘great’ people is ironically juxtaposed with their sordid lives. The name is presumably supposed to be Italian, but is not in fact used in Italy.
