Lover of horses
Derived from the Greek name Philippos, it combines 'philos' (loving) and 'hippos' (horse). Historically, it has been a regal name in Europe, particularly associated with Queen Philippa of Hainault, who was known for her compassion. It remains a sophisticated choice that feels both intellectual and spirited.
