Pylyp is Ukrainian in Origin.

Pylyp is the Ukrainian form of the Greek name Philippos, meaning “lover of horses,” from phil- “love” and hippos “horse.” It entered Ukrainian through Church Slavonic with the spread of Christianity, honoring Saint Philip the Apostle. A notable bearer is Pylyp Orlyk (1672–1742), the Hetman in exile linked to the 1710 Constitution of Pylyp Orlyk.

Variants include Philip, Phillip (English), Filip (Polish, Czech, Slovak, South Slavic, and Scandinavian), Philippe (French), Felipe (Spanish/Portuguese), Filippo (Italian), Fülöp (Hungarian), and Filipp (Russian); Belarusian uses Pilip. In Ukrainian, the standard spelling is Пилип, yielding the transliteration Pylyp and distinguishing it from the international Filip. Name days often fall on November 14 in the Eastern Orthodox calendar and May 3 in the Roman Catholic tradition, though dates vary. Pylyp offers a rooted, distinctly Ukrainian choice with pan-European familiarity.
