Philipine is Greek in Origin.
Philipine is a feminine given name ultimately from Greek Philippos (phílos “friend” + híppos “horse”), meaning “lover/friend of horses.” It developed as a Romance- and Germanic-language feminine of Philip/Philippe/Philipp, formed with the suffix -ine. While the French standard spelling is Philippine (two p’s), the one‑p form Philipine appears in historical records and is understood as the same name.
Usage is attested from the 16th century in France, the Low Countries, and German-speaking regions, often alternating with Philippina or Philippine in parish registers. The name is rare today, overshadowed by English Philippa and its chic diminutive Pippa. Related variants include Philippine, Philipina/Philippina, Philippa/Philippa, Filipa/Filippa, Felipa, and Filipina; masculine counterparts are Philip, Philippe, Philipp, Felipe, Filip, and Filippo. Common short forms are Pippa, Pina, Fina/Phina, and Lina, with occasional local nicknames drawn from -ine endings.
