There are many variations of the origin of the word kipper, dependant on the country, but basically it comes from the salting or preserving of the fish.

I was born and lived in scotland for many years and we ate kippers, I assume it is a british word meaning a process of preserving the fish.

The British came up with that one. Who knows how some words come about?
