Pippa is Greek in Origin.
Pippa is the breezy English pet form of Philippa, the feminine of Philip, from Greek Philippos (phílos, “friend/lover” + híppos, “horse”), yielding the meaning “lover of horses.” Long used as a nickname, it now stands as an independent given name. Close variants include Philippa (standard), Filippa (Italian, Scandinavian), and localized forms such as Pip, Pippy, and Pips; masculine cognates include Philip, Filip, Felipe, and Filippo.
Medieval England favored Philippa, notably Queen Philippa of Hainault, lending historic weight. The name Pippa gained literary sparkle through Robert Browning’s 1841 verse drama Pippa Passes. It enjoyed steady British use in the 20th century and surged in the 2010s after Pippa Middleton, influencing charts in the UK, Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand, while remaining uncommon in the United States. Note that in Italian slang pippa carries risqué or teasing meanings, which can affect cross-cultural perception.
