Filipe is Greek, Latin, Portuguese in Origin.
Filipe is the Portuguese form of Latin Philippus, from Ancient Greek Philippos, the earliest known form behind the name. Philippos combines philos, loving or friendly, with hippos, horse; the final -os is a masculine nominative ending. The literal sense is horse-loving or lover of horses, reflecting Greek aristocratic vocabulary shaped by horsemanship and cavalry.
The name was borne by Philip II of Macedon and by Saint Philip the Apostle, helping its passage through Christian Europe as Philippus and then local forms. Filipe is specifically Portuguese, beside Spanish Felipe, French Philippe, Italian Filippo, German Philipp, and English Philip. Portuguese royal usage includes Filipe I, the Spanish Habsburg who ruled Portugal from 1581 to 1598. In Brazil, Portugal, Mozambique, and diaspora communities it remains recognizably Lusophone; in U.S. birth records, Filipe has been sparse and chiefly male.
