philip

A christian name.
In English, the name Philip means- Fond of horses. Form of Phillip.. Other origins for the name Philip include - English, Greek, French, Greek.The name Philip is most often used as a boy name or male name.

A surname.
Recorded in over one hundred spellings ranging from Philip, Phillip and Filip, to Lippi, Filippeli, Filipichov, and Khilkov, and found in the relevant spellings throughout Europe from Spain to the Russian Steppes, in the Medieval period, this famous surname is of Ancient Greek origin. It derives from the word ''philippos'', a compound made up of two elements ''philein'' meaning ''to love, and ''hippos, a horse, hence '' lover of horses''. In the great Christian revival period of the 11th and 12th centuries, a large number of expeditions were launched to ''free'' the Holy Land and specifically Jerusalem, from the control of the ''infidel Muslim''. These expeditions were lead by the kings of the various participating Christian countries, the most famous being Richard, Coeur de Leon, King of England 1189 - 1199. Soldiers returning from these ''Crusades'' took to naming their children after biblical characters or ones associated with Christianity. In this case the association appears to be more romantic than actual, since the most famous ''Philip'' of ancient times was the father of Alexander, the Great, whose activities were barely Christian.
