[edit]Etymology
[edit]As suggested by Agatʻangełos, a derivative of Ancient Greek ῥίπτω ~ ῥίψ- (rhíptō ~ rhíps-, “to throw away”)․ Probably a name for an abandoned child, formed with the adjectival suffix -ιμος (-imos). Compare Ancient Greek ἀπο-ῤῥίψιμος (apo-rrhípsimos, “that should be thrown away”) and substantivized Byzantine Greek ῥίψιμον (rhípsimon, “excrement”). Other given names from this Greek base: Ϝριψίδας (Wripsídas), Ῥιψό-λαος (Rhipsó-laos).
First borne by the Roman virgin St. Rhipsime martyred in Armenia. In the Middle Ages confused with the unrelated name Հոռոմ (Hoṙom), which lead to hybrids like Հոռոմսիմ (Hoṙomsim), etc.
