This name coincides with Albanian shqip (fem. Shqipe) "Albanian", and may be given with that meaning in mind. Alternatively, it may be a blend of Albanian shkabë "griffon vulture [Gyps fulvus]" or, archaically, "eagle" + shqip, since the two-headed eagle is Albania's national emblem. Either way, the name is undoubtedly patriotic in nature.

Shqiponjë actually means Eagle in Albanian. It is possibly derived from it.

Sh...ki...pe? -trying to figure out how to pronounce it. It's a cool name though.

The Albanian name for Albania is 'Shqipëria' ('Land of the Eagles').
