Chipping
Chipping is a prefix used in a number of place names in England, probably derived from ceapen, an Old English word meaning 'market', though the meaning may alternatively come from (or via) the Medieval English word chepynge with a more specific meaning of 'long market square'. It was sometimes historically spelled as Chepying.
