Philippa History Meaning and Mood

Philippa is a distinctive feminine name derived from ancient Greek, meaning 'lover of horses.' In the USA, it possesses a historical gravitas but has remained relatively uncommon, often chosen for its sophisticated, traditional appeal. As the definitive female version of Philip, it is exclusively gendered as feminine worldwide. The name carries an elegant and regal mood, suggesting maturity and refinement. Historically linked to European naming conventions, its usage signals a classic taste. This combination of deep origin and sophisticated tone makes Philippa a striking choice.
