Meanings and history of the name Tripp

Lord Howard's fifth son was given the name Tripp after the storming of a castle during the siege of Boulogne 1544. According to an old tradition, King Henry VIII asked how they took the town and castle, and Lord Howard answered, "I tripp'd up the walls, Tripp shall be thy name, and no longer Howard."

Tripp is also a nickname for "the third" (e.g., John Smith III).
