Filipp
A boy's name of Russian origin with 5 recorded U.S. births.
Meaning & Origin
Filipp reads as a modern invention — a name that emerged in the 2010s and was likely coined by parents looking for something fresh rather than inherited.
The sharp, distinct quality of its ending — ending on a consonant gives it a firm, clear close — keeps the name compact and easy to pair with longer middle names or surnames.
Filipp is not in the current top 1,000 boy names nationally, making it an uncommon choice — though your state or community may differ.
Filipp is a boy's baby name of Russian origin, the Russian form of Philip, from the Greek philos (lover) and hippos (horse), meaning 'lover of horses' — used across Slavic-speaking communities.
EtymologyShow more
Filipp appeared in SSA records in 2018, placing it in the modern era of American naming — a period when parents increasingly draw from global cultures, invent new names, and blend sounds to create something entirely original. Its Russian roots may have been the starting point, adapted or respelled to fit contemporary American tastes.
With only 5 recorded births, Filipp has not been widely studied in naming literature — its story belongs primarily to the families who chose it.
