Lover of horses
Derived from the Greek name Philippos, it combines 'philos' (loving) and 'hippos' (horse). In ancient times, owning horses was a sign of nobility and wealth, giving the name a distinguished history. While Philip is the standard English form, Filip is the preferred spelling across much of Central and Northern Europe.
