The term "blimp" is believed to have originated from a British military slang in the early 20th century. It is thought to derive from the sound made when a finger is pressed against the gas-filled envelope, which resembled a "blimp" noise. Additionally, some sources suggest that it may have stemmed from the word "blimp," which was used informally to describe an airship that lacked a rigid structure. Over time, the name became widely used to refer to non-rigid airships in general.
