Philart is in Origin.

Philart is a rare given name with Greek roots, most plausibly a streamlined variant of Philaret (Greek Philaretos), from philos “love” + aretē “virtue,” yielding the meaning “lover of virtue.” In modern creative naming, it is also read as a blend of phil- “love” and art, giving the approachable meaning “lover of art.” Phonetic shifts from -etos/-et to -t are seen in some French and English adaptations, supporting the variant theory.

Documented as a surname in Francophone records and only sporadically as a first name since the late 20th century, Philart remains unconventional yet familiar through the recognizable elements Phil- and Art. Cognates and variants include Philaret, Filaret, Filarete, and the feminine Philareta/Filareta; short forms Phil and Art work naturally. Related names by meaning include Amadeus (“lover of God”), Amias (“loved”), and Ariste/Arete, echoing the virtue theme.
