Filipa is Greek in Origin.
Filipa is the standard Portuguese and South Slavic feminine form of Philip, ultimately from Greek Philippos, formed from philos “friend, lover” and hippos “horse,” hence “lover of horses.” In Portugal the name has deep medieval roots: Queen Filipa de Lencastre (1360–1415) and several infantas bore it, cementing its courtly pedigree and steady use across the centuries. It remains familiar in Lusophone countries and in Croatia, Serbia, and Slovenia, where Filipa parallels the masculine Filip.
International variants include Philippa (English), Filippa (Italian, Swedish), Felipa (Spanish), Philippine (French), and Filipina (Polish); related masculine forms are Filipe (Portuguese), Felipe (Spanish), Philip/Filip. Common diminutives and nicknames are Pipa/Pippa, Fifi, and Fili. The name’s classical meaning and pan-European footprint give Filipa a sleek, cross-cultural profile.
