Town of travelers or the third settlement

It likely derives from the Middle English 'trip', referring to a journey or a flock, combined with the Old English suffix '-tun', meaning an enclosure, settlement, or town. Alternatively, it may be a modern variation of names like Tipton or a creative expansion of the name Trip.
