Probably cognate with Mycenaean Greek 𐀄𐀬𐀠𐀊𐀍 (u-ru-pi-ja-jo, description of men, possibly ethnical), which may indicate original /u/ in the anlaut.
According to Beekes, Pre-Greek. Suspecting originally an appellative word for “mountain” ολύ- (olú-), he tentatively identified the suffix *-ump-, and the proto-form *Ulump-.
According to Janda, a compound of the PIE roots *wel- (“to turn, wind; to enclose, wrap, encase”) and *pah₂- (“to protect, herd”), more precisely from the heteroclitic *wéluṛ ~ *welun- (“wrapping”), which directly gave Ancient Greek εἶλαρ (eîlar, “covering, shelter, defence, bulwark”), ὄλυνος (ólunos, “the rubbed off and discarded in the course of cleaning”), ὄλυνθος (ólunthos, “unripe fig”) and ὄλυρα (ólura, “amelcorn”). Further cognates include ἔλυμος (élumos, “millet; sheath, case, etui”), ἔλυτρον (élutron, “cover, case, sheath”), Albanian valle (“a kind of circular dance”), Russian вал (val, “billow, roller; rampart”), Proto-Germanic *waluz (“staff, stick”), Sanskrit वरुण (varuṇa, “ocean, sun, the gods”) and ऊर्मि (ūrmi, “wave, billow”), Latin vallus (“stake, pale; palisade”) and volvo (“to roll”).

As proposed by Palmer, may be related to Luwian [script needed] (parnanza, “house”) (stem parna-) and productive possessive suffix [script needed] (-ašša-). A similar toponym [Anatolian hieroglyphic needed] (pa+ra/i-na-sa), apparently a town in Anatolia, is attested in a hieroglyphic inscription on a Luwian monument found in Karkamıš (A24a).
However, Beekes argues that according to 6th century encyclopedist Stephanus of Byzantium the mountain had an older name starting from Λ, and judging by the variation σσ/σ it may be Pre-Greek.
