Philip
FIL-ip
A classic biblical name associated with horse-loving and, in some 19th-century sources, with warlike strength.
Meaning
Philip comes from the Greek name Philippos, traditionally analyzed as philo- meaning 'love' and hippos meaning 'horse.' That gives the familiar sense 'lover of horses' or 'fond of horses.' One 19th-century source also gives a looser gloss of 'warlike,' but the horse-loving etymology is the standard one.
