Fillo is Spanish in Origin.
Fillo is a rare given name with several converging roots. It aligns with the Greek name Philo (from phílos, “dear, loved, friend”), a classical element in many Hellenic compounds and borne by Philo of Alexandria. In Romance and Slavic naming, Fillo also appears as an affectionate short form of Fil-/Phil- names - Filip/Philip, Felipe, Filippo - formed by doubling l and adding the -o ending.
Since Philip comes from Greek Philippos (“lover of horses,” philos + hippos), Fillo can mean either “friend/beloved” or “lover of horses,” depending on lineage. The name is uncommon in English records but occurs informally in Iberia and parts of Eastern Europe; in Galician, fillo means “son,” a pleasing echo of family ties. Related variants and cognates: Philo, Filo, Filon, Filip, Felipe, Filippo, Philippe, and Philip.
