What is the meaning of the name Philipinna ?

Philipinna is Greek in Origin.

Philipinna is a rare modern feminine variant related to Philippina, ultimately from Greek Philippos (philos “friend, lover” + hippos “horse”), yielding the meaning “lover of horses.” The double-n spelling likely blends the familiar root Philip with the feminine suffix -ina/-inna, influenced by older forms such as Philippina and Philippine.

Feminine forms of Philip spread across Europe through the cult of Saint Philip the Apostle and the prestige of medieval rulers named Philip. They appear in German records as Philippina/Philippine, in French as Philippine (cf. Saint Rose Philippine Duchesne), in Italian as Filippa/Filippina, in Scandinavian languages as Filippa, and in English as Philippa. Related forms include Filipina (also a national demonym), plus short forms Pippa and Phina. Philipinna thus sits within a long, pan-European family of names connected by the equine-loving meaning and by centuries of steady, though regionally varied, usage.
