Phillipa is Greek in Origin.
Phillipa is an English feminine given name, a streamlined spelling of Philippa, the counterpart to Philip. It descends from Greek Philippos (philos ‘friend, lover’ + hippos ‘horse’), yielding the meaning ‘lover of horses.’ Through Christian devotion to Saint Philip and dynastic naming, the name spread across medieval Europe, shining in England via Queen Philippa of Hainault in the 14th century. It enjoyed revival in the 19th–20th centuries and today is most familiar in Britain, Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand.
Variants include Philippa (standard English), Phillippa, Filippa (Italian, Scandinavian), Filipa (Portuguese, Croatian), Felipa (Spanish), and Philippine (French), with Philippina found in some German contexts. Common short forms are Pippa, Pip, Pippy, and Philly. The spelling Phillipa is modern but well established, carrying the same equestrian, affectionate sense rooted in its ancient Greek elements.
