Pronunciation Gender Male
Name day 14 November Word/name
Greek : Φίλιππος Meaning "fond of horses"
Cognate (s)
Philip , also Phillip , is a male name, derived from the
Greek
Φίλιππος (Philippos , lit. "horse-loving" or "fond of horses"
[1]
[2] ), from a compound of
φίλος (philos , "dear", "loved", "loving") and
ἵππος (hippos , "horse").
[3] Prominent Philips who popularized the name include
kings of Macedonia and one of the apostles of early
Christianity .
Philip has
many alternative spellings . One derivation often used as a surname is
Phillips . The original Greek spelling includes two Ps as seen in
Philippides and
Philippos , which is possible due to the Greek endings following the two Ps. To end a word with such a double consonant—in Greek or in English—would, however, be incorrect. It has many
diminutive (or even
hypocoristic ) forms including Phil ,
Philly , Phillie,
Lip , and
Pip . There are also feminine forms such as
Philippine and
Philippa .
