Philipp is Greek in Origin.
Philipp is the standard German form of the ancient Greek Philippos, composed of philos “friend, lover” and hippos “horse,” giving the meaning “lover of horses” or “friend of horses.” Carried into Latin and the New Testament, the name spread with Christianity; its prestige was reinforced by figures such as Philip II of Macedon and the Apostle Philip, ensuring durable pan-European appeal.
In German-speaking countries (Germany, Austria, Switzerland), Philipp has long been familiar, seeing strong late-20th-century use while remaining a classic. Notable bearers include the Reformation scholar Philipp Melanchthon and Philip I “the Magnanimous” of Hesse. Variants and cognates include English Philip/Phillip, French Philippe, Italian Filippo, Spanish Felipe, Portuguese Filipe, and Slavic/Scandinavian/Dutch Filip. Short forms range from Phil to Pip and, regionally, Flip. The double-p ending marks the German orthography; the single-p Philip also appears but is less customary in German.
