Filipovna as a Baby Name. Meaning and Origin of Filipovna

What is the meaning of the name Filipovna ?

The baby name Filipovna is a Female name , 4 syllables long and is pronounced fee-LIP-ov-nuh (approx.; IPA: /fiˈlɪpɔvnə/).

Filipovna is Russian in Origin.

Filipovna is a Slavic feminine patronymic rather than a conventional given name, meaning "daughter of Filip." Filip derives from Greek Philippos, "lover of horses," from philos "friend, lover" + hippos "horse." In Russian, the patronymic suffix -ovna attaches to the father's name; with this root the standard form doubles the p, yielding Filippovna (Филипповна), while Filipovna is a simplified transliteration.

Within East Slavic naming, it serves as a formal middle name used in documents, literature, and polite address (e.g., Anna Filippovna). As a stand-alone first name it is rare and may cause administrative confusion in countries that still employ patronymics. Variants and transliterations include Filippovna, Phillipovna, and Filypovna; cross-language equivalents are Ukrainian Pylypivna and Belarusian Pilipawna, with the related South Slavic surname-style Filipova. Related given names include Filippa/Philippa and the masculine Filip; the corresponding masculine patronymic is Filippovich (Filipovich).
