What is the meaning of the name Jean-Philippe ?

The baby name Jean-Philippe is a Male name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced {'IPA': '/ʒɑ̃.filip/', 'respelling': 'zhahn-fee-LEEP'}.

Jean-Philippe is French in Origin.

Jean-Philippe is a classic French compound given name formed from Jean (the French form of John, from Hebrew Yochanan, meaning Yahweh is gracious) and Philippe (the French form of Philip, from Greek Philippos, meaning lover of horses). Together the elements suggest a layered meaning: God is gracious paired with lover of horses, a balanced blend of biblical and Hellenic roots typical of French hyphenated names.

In use across France, Belgium, Switzerland, and Québec since at least the early modern era, the name flourished with the 20th-century vogue for double names and remains a polished classic. Notable bearers include composer Jean-Philippe Rameau and singer Jean-Philippe Smet (Johnny Hallyday). Variants and equivalents: Jean Philippe (unhyphenated), JP/J-P, John Philip (English), Juan Felipe (Spanish), João Filipe (Portuguese), Gian Filippo (Italian), Jan Filip (Czech/Polish).
