Etymology 1
Old English cypera "male salmon," perhaps related to Old English coper "reddish-brown metal" (see copper), on resemblance of color. Another theory connects it to kip "sharp, hooked lower jaw of the male salmon in breeding season," from Middle English kippen "to seize, snatch" but OED doubts this.
