Philipe is Greek in Origin.

Philipe is a modern spelling of the classic name whose ultimate origin is the Greek Philippos, from philos “friend, lover” + hippos “horse,” hence “lover of horses.” Through Latin Philippus it spread across Christendom; the ph- spelling reflects the Greek. The specific form Philipe arises as an alternative blend of French Philippe/English Philip with Portuguese Filipe, and is encountered in Lusophone communities alongside the standard Filipe and Felipe.

The name gained renown via Saint Philip the Apostle and numerous early martyrs, as well as rulers like Philip II of Macedon and medieval kings of France (Philippe) and Spain (Felipe), cementing its royal stature. Established variants include Philip and Phillip (English), Philippe (French), Filipe (Portuguese), Felipe (Spanish), Filip (Slavic and Nordic), Filippo (Italian), and Pilib (Irish). Common nicknames are Phil, Pip, Flip, and Lipe.
