Phillipe is Greek in Origin.
Phillipe is a modern hybrid spelling blending English “Phillip” and French “Philippe,” from Greek Philippos (phílos “friend” + híppos “horse”), meaning “lover of horses.” The name passed through Latin as Philippus and spread widely via the Apostle Saint Philip and numerous early martyrs. It also acquired prestige through rulers such as Philip II of Macedon, father of Alexander the Great, and a line of French kings named Philippe, notably Philippe II (Philip Augustus). The -pe ending signals French influence, while the double l reflects English orthography.
Common variants include Philip and Phillip (English), Philippe (French), Philipp (German), Filippo (Italian), Felipe/Filipe (Spanish/Portuguese), Filip (Slavic and Scandinavian), and Pilib (Irish). Feminine forms are Philippa and Filipa. Nicknames range from Phil and Pip to Flip. Phillipe remains the least common spelling but appears in both Anglophone and Francophone contexts.
