A Greek name gently fading from the charts.
a male given name, equivalent to English Philip
Philipp is a boy's baby name of Greek origin, the German spelling of Philip from Philippos meaning 'lover of horses' — from philos (loving) and hippos (horse). This spelling is the standard form in German-speaking countries, carried by kings, philosophers, and the father of Alexander the Great.
Philipp was #6419 twenty years ago and has since drifted to #8774, but its charm endures.
