Origin and meaning of Filip

Filip comes from the ancient Greek Philippos (Φίλιππος), from philos, «friend», and hippos, «horse»: thus «friend of horses», a name borne by Macedonian kings such as Philip II, father of Alexander the Great. It is widely used in both Poland and Romania, keeping the same spelling and strong sound, valued for being classic without feeling heavy. Parents like its tie to Christian tradition through the apostle Philip.
