They are actually two different words:

The word yippee is an interjection, a joyful utterance (Yippee! We found it!).

The word yippie is a slang term based on the word hippie, a counterculture individual of the 1960s. The term yippie is applied to similarly disillusioned young people who became politically active during the same period, some with the radical Youth International Party.

Where does the word 'yippie' come from?

The word 'yippie' comes from a fictitious political party of the 1960s, the Youth International Party, modeled on the word 'hippie', suggesting the rebellion of the hippie movement combined with the enthusiasm of 'yippee'.Several friends invented the 'party' and then invented the term, or supposed acronym, 'Yippie' to go with it.The word 'yippee' is a verbal (or vocal) exclamation or interjection; it's the written form in English of the sound a person might make when they suddenly are very happy about something.'yippee' 1910 - 1915, informal interjection to express joy or elation. Recorded in some dictionaries as an Americanism, but with usage in the language going back much further.Also a cattle-call, popularized in a 1936 song written by Johnny Mercer, satirizing the fake cowboy industry. The song, 'I'm an Old Cowhand (from the Rio Grande)' was written for the Bing Crosby movie 'Rythmn on the Range', and recorded by Crosby on July 17, 1936:'I'm an old cowhand from the Rio GrandeBut my legs ain't bowed and my cheeks ain't tannedI'm a cowboy who never saw a cowNever roped a steer 'cause I don't know howSure ain't fixin' to start in nowOh, Yippie Yi Yo Kayah, Yippie Yi Yo Kayah...I'm an old cowhand and I come down from the Rio GrandeAnd I learned to ride, ride, ride 'fore I learned to standI'm a ridin' fool who is up to dateI know ev'ry trail in The Lone Star State'Cause I ride the range in a Ford V-8Oh, Yippie Yi Yo Kayah, Yippie Yi Yo KayahOh, Yippie Yi Yo Kayah,Yippie Yi Yo KayahWe're old cowhands from the Rio GrandeAnd we come to town just to hear the bandWe know all the songs that the cowboys know"bout the Big Corral where the dogies goWe learned them all on the radioYippie Yi Yo Kayah, Yippie Yi Yo KayahI'm an lod cowhand down from the Rio GrandeOh, where the West is wild all 'round The BorderlandWhere the buffalo roam around the zooAnd the engines run up a rug or twoAnd the old Bar X is just a barbecue, yeahYippie Yi Yo Kayah, Yippie Yi Yo KayahI'm a pioneer who began from scratchI don't bat an eye in a shootin' matchThey don't call me 'Elmer', they call me 'Satch"Yippei Yi Yo Kayah, Yippie Yi Yo KayahGet along little horsey, get along little horseyYippie Yi Yo Kayah, Oh'
