          • Description:

            Filippa is the feminine form of Philip, derived from the Greek name Philippos meaning 'lover of horses.' This elegant name has been used throughout Europe for centuries, particularly in Scandinavian countries, Italy, and Greece. While less common than the masculine Philip or feminine Philippa in English-speaking regions, Filippa offers a softer, more distinctly feminine sound with its ending in 'a.'

Filippa represents a beautiful option for parents seeking a name with historical depth and international recognition that still remains relatively uncommon and distinctive in many Western countries.

          • Description:

This spelling variation with double 'l' differs from the more common Filippa or Philippa used in Scandinavian and Mediterranean countries. The name carries a graceful, international quality with strong historical roots dating back to ancient Greece. While maintaining the sophisticated appeal of traditional feminine forms of Philip, the unique spelling gives it a distinctive character. Though rare in English-speaking countries, Fillippa offers parents a name that balances classic origins with uncommon status, providing their daughter with a name that's both substantial and unique.

The alteration of the initial 'Ph' to 'P' gives it a softer sound while potentially simplifying pronunciation.

The name carries associations with strength and nobility inherited from its root name, which has historical connections to royal and aristocratic families across Europe.
