Pippie is in Origin.

Pippie is a modern diminutive rooted in the Philippa/Pippa tradition, ultimately from Greek Philippos (philos ‘friend, lover’ + hippos ‘horse’), giving the meaning ‘lover of horses’. The -ie ending follows English and Scots affectionate patterns and appears as an informal spelling beside Pippi. In Scandinavia and parts of continental Europe, Filippa/Philippa commonly shortens to Pippi, which helps explain Pippie's sound and feel.

As a given name, Pippie surfaces sporadically in English-speaking registers from the late 20th century, more often used as a pet name for Philippa or Pippa. Public familiarity with Astrid Lindgren's character Pippi Longstocking (1945) reinforced the bright, mischievous image of Pip-names, while Pippa's 2010s revival broadened their appeal. Variants and cognates include Pippi, Pippy, Pippa, Pip, Philippa, Filippa; masculine counterparts are Philip, Phillip, Filip, Philippe. Pippie remains informal and youthful in tone, but works independently for parents seeking a light, spirited choice with classical roots.
