Felip is Catalan in Origin.
Felip is the Catalan form of Philip, ultimately from Greek Philippos, composed of philos (“friend, lover”) and hippos (“horse”), yielding the meaning “lover of horses” or “friend of horses.” The name entered Western Europe through the New Testament and early Christian tradition, then spread widely across Romance and Germanic languages. In Catalan-speaking regions (Catalonia, Valencia, the Balearics), Felip has long been the standard literary and civic form.
Usage rose via the cult of Saint Philip the Apostle and the prestige of monarchs bearing the name, notably the Habsburg kings of the Spanish Monarchy known in Catalan as Felip II, Felip III, and Felip IV; today, Felipe VI appears as Felip VI in Catalan. Variants include Felipe (Spanish), Filipe (Portuguese), Filippo (Italian), Philippe (French), Philip/Phillip (English), and Filip (Slavic/Scandinavian). Feminine counterparts are Felipa and Filipa; common nicknames include Pip and Pipo.
