Etimologie (Engels)

Geërf van Middle High German: lippe

Geërf van Old High German: *lippa

In summary

An originally Low and Central German form (though not in all dialects of the latter). From Middle Low German lippe and northern Middle High German lippe, from Old High German *lippa, from Proto-West Germanic *lippjō.
One reason for the form’s prevailing in modern standard German was its use in Luther’s Bible translation. It gradually reduced Upper German Lefze to a marginal role (now chiefly “lip of a predator”, but rare).

Sinne

Er bezieht sich auf die Form der kleinen Anhängsel auf der Lippe .

It refers to the shape of the small appendages on the lip.
