Shqipe is an uncommon yet captivating female given name of Albanian origin. Pronounced /ʃqiˈpɛ/, it is derived from the word "shqip" meaning "Albanian." This name has been popularized in recent times, but its roots trace back to ancient Albania, where it was used as a nickname or a term of endearment. Shqipe was not traditionally considered a proper given name until the late 20th century when it began to be used more frequently due to its cultural significance and distinctiveness. Today, it is recognized as a unique name that embodies Albanian heritage and pride.
