Skipsey Vad efternamn betyder
from Skipsea (ER Yorks) which is recorded as Skipse and Skypse from the 12th to 15th centuries. The place-name derives from Old Scandinavian skip ‘ship’ + Old English sǣ or Old Scandinavian sǽr ‘sea lake’. Away from Yorks the surname has developed a later variant with Ship- presumably because of the association with sea.
