Philip, also Phillip, is a male name, derived from the Greek Φίλιππος (Philippos, lit. "horse-loving" or "fond of horses"^[1]^[2]), from a compound of φίλος (philos, "dear", "loved", "loving") and ἵππος (hippos, "horse").^[3] Prominent Philips who popularized the name include kings of Macedonia and one of the apostles of early Christianity.

Philip has many alternative spellings. One derivation often used as a surname is Phillips. It was also found during ancient Greek times with two Ps as Philippides and Philippos. It has many diminutive (or even hypocoristic) forms including Phil, Philly, Phillie, Lip, and Pip. There are also feminine forms such as Philippine and Philippa.
