Etymology

The word 'pippin' has its origins in Middle English, derived from the Old French 'pippin', which means 'seed' or 'pip'. This is in turn rooted in the Latin 'pippa', which refers to a small seed or a pip. The term initially referred to apple seeds and eventually became associated with a specific type of apple known for its flavor and texture. Over time, the designation of 'pippin' has been adopted in various regions to signify different apple varieties, especially in areas known for apple cultivation. The historical reference to notable figures like Pepin the Short illustrates the word's richness in both botanical and historical contexts.
